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.

Some port gulls…

Some gulls in the snow…

Not only eagles in the port of course…
But they were flying over all the time.
Nasty weather
Very wet/windy/blizzardy the last 2 or 3 days. LOADS of Common Gull on the coast…
Apart from the gulls it was pretty quiet.
I was checking out a harbour but there were a few crossbills in the pine trees nearby so I couldn’t resist.
Some gulls out east
It was a grey wintry day out east today….
2 days away #3
The ports didn’t have that many birds; here are some of the commoner ones.
A quick trip east
No eagles in Esan on Christmas Eve (except for a couple of flyover White-taileds high in the sky). But lots of kittiwakes…
The crossbills appear to have left the cape but there were Brambling, Rustic Bunting and a small flock of Redpoll…
Some EF 400 f/5.6L shots
400mm seems awfully short after being used to 500mm for the last 10 years…
But it is a lot easier carrying around.

Some winter gulls…
Late Winter Trip 2023 #15
There were lots of swans with the geese…
The weather was nasty on the second and thirds days: rain and fog.
