Hakodate – Hakodate Birding

Some later Hakodate Crossbills

These were from a few days ago…………

Some more Crossbills from my walks around town last week…………..

One of the ladies drinking on her own…………….

I hate to say it but all this Corona downtime has left me lots of time with the Crossbills in Hakodate……..like these 2 males coming down for a drink.

Not only Crossbills this winter……….

There are Redpolls everywhere too. There was a flock of a dozen or so in Hakodate this week. Not as easy to photograph as their red relatives though.

Some more flybys of the Falcated Duck in the local park from a couple of days ago. Is it still there I wonder?

The park had loads of birds that day actually: Crossbills, Hawfinch, Brambling, Japanese Pygmy and Great Spotted Woodpecker, Pochard, Nuthatch………..
