Haven’t done much birding or photography recently. The above Kingfisher was at Yakumo this morning.
The last couple of weeks were pretty quiet. Rustic Buntings and Black-crowned Night Heron on the river near my apartment, Glaucous-winged, Vega and Black-headed Gulls at Kamiiso as well as a variety of returning duck species.
Last week we went up to Shikotsuko but nasty weather meant no decent photos. The first Glaucous Gull and White-fronted Goose of the season at Yakumo on the way back were the only noteworthy species of the trip………
Everybody likes Kingfishers !
I remember we saw one of this species from your car window in HK last spring………………
