Not good photos but there has been a small flock of about 20 Snow Geese near Onuma the last week or so. I got to see them this morning.
Dodgy light and I only had a short window of time but I managed to find them and fire off a few record shots in the gloomy early morning conditions.
This is a species that occurs on passage further north and east in Hokkaido but is pretty rare down here. It was a welcome addition to my Japanese list although I had seen one before in the UK: in Pilling about 32 years ago………..

Massively gripped!!
Really? Of course Hong Kong is unlikely but not in the UK or North America either?
Very attractive visitors – nice shots.
Hi John. Thanks! They didn’t stick around sadly……..
