On Monday we went to Onuma assuming all the White-fonted Geese flying over Hakodate on Sunday would be there. They weren’t…
The Brent Geese were in the same spot in Hakodate as Sunday and I had my big lesn with me at least.

This is the goose species easy to see in town…
I took a few crossbill shots and moved quickly on…
They come in a lot of hues.
In among the White-fronts up above there were a few Cackling Geese. Crappy record shot but a Hakodate tick! 4 of them in this heavy crop; the ones with the white cheeks.
Unbelievable to say but there were a lot of crossbills at different spots on my long walk…another influx? Surely not.
In the skies large flocks of geese were heading north. Hundreds and hundreds of them.
Last of the geese shots…
Taiga or Tundra? Struggling a bit here…
Some geese shots when the light was (slightly) better….
More geese in dodgy light…
We found some roadside geese nice and close but the light was terrible; backlit with hazy bright light in the midday sun.
These 2 species are very scarce near Hakodate…
Always a pleasure to see Snow Geese…
There were 4/5 species; Cackling, Greater White-fronted, Snow and Taiga/Tundra Bean…
Not sure which of the latter this ones is TBH.
