We stopped at Yakumo on the way back from our trip…
An Osprey was fishing just offshore.
Not great conditions for BIfs.

Some common birds at this time of year posing for the camera…
Summer stuff is arriving all the time: Stejneger’s Stonechat, Chestnut-cheeked Starling, Common Reed Bunting etc etc. The above Red-flanked Bluetail was in Yakumo yesterday and this Little Ringed Plover was near Hakodate today.
Waders have started appearing: this Bar-tailed Godwit was near Oshamanbe.
A few Wood Sandpipers were also around as well as some Kentish Plover. Little Ringed Plovers are summer breeders and are in many locations now.
