I grabbed a buoy from the beach to sit on and get some low(ish) shots of the Sanderlings…

The way home

There weren’t many waders in Mukawa but on the way home the flock of Sanderlings near Oshamanbe was in their usual place.

And the Kentish Plovers from last week were still around.

Long-tailed Duck

This male Long-tailed Duck was coming into breeding plumage…

This Sanderling isn’t yet:

I was trying my hardest to get photos of this species. Stejneger’s Scoter, but they never seem to come close.

These were on the sea, not in the port and is a very heavy crop.

Steller’s Sea Eagle

Never really seen them do this down here in SW Hokkaido. I guess they’re really hungry. Or maybe they do this every early morning in this spot and I’m never there to see it..?

On the way back some Sanderlings were in their usual spot too.

A pair of winter waders

Waders are scarce in Hokkaido in winter but one port near Oshamambe has a small overwintering flock of Sanderling and another port has a small flock of Dunlin…

Early winter on the sea

Pelagic Cormorant

I stood on one of the harbour walls near Oshamanbe and there were lots of birds on the sea: Red-throated Diver, Long-tailed Duck, Black and Stejneger’s Scoters, 3 species of grebe…

And the flock of Sanderling that seems to overwinter in this spot did a nice fly-by.
