Passing through

There were 3 of these, presumably stragglers from the big flocks. Also Gadwall, Mandarin and various other common ducks and several species of gulls including these 2 looking nice in summer plumage.

Wild goose chase a waste of time

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…

A local tick

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.
