The nearby fields had plenty of geese…
Most of them were Greater White-fronts.

I just can’t escape geese: this lone straggling White-front was in parkland atop a cape!
The Ospreys have returned…not great pics it has to be said.

Other birds around on Monday in the Esan area were Glaucous-winged Gull, Harlequin Duck, lots of Brent Goose and a lone White-tailed Eagle.

Geese were the main target for the trip. On the first day in Mukawa there were hardly any around: the fields were still covered with snow. Most of the geese either hadn’t arrived yet or were waiting on some nearby waterways…
We managed to find a few White-fronts scattered around.

The geese were still there when we went home…
