Golden Week 2023 #2
A dreary overcast afternoon in Yakumo and hard work with the RF 600 f/11…
A pair of Garganey were present as were several Northern Shoveler, Great and Little Egret, Eurasian Curlew (presumably the same bird as 3 weeks ago) and about 200 White-fronts…
Some midday Geese
There were some geese at Yakumo at the weekend…

There were a few Bean Geese with the White-fronts. Some were a bit small like this one, think it might be a Tundra Bean Goose?
Quite a lot of Cackling Goose…
And a handful of Snow Geese…

The last day with the geese didn’t yield many memorable photos…
But there were at least 2 adult blue phase Snow Geese and 1 (maybe 2) juveniles too.
Heavy crop here…
