The last photos from my trip last week.


The weather was much better the second day in Urahoro. At first the geese were in a different area from the day before. Except for a few Whooper Swan and Bean Geese. The long neck/bill and head shape seem to indicate Taiga Bean Goose.
But presently other species arrived including Cackling Geese. We had seen these flocks newly arrive around 4 weeks previously.
White-fronted Goose is the most likely to be seen goose species near Hakodate but they were probably the least numerous of the 3 (or 4?) species on show in Urahoro last week.
They seemed to be well outnumbered by Cackling Geese at this particular spot.
