Until just under 2 years ago I had never seen Cackling Goose or Snow Goose in Japan.
Now I just can’t stop seeing them all over the place…………

2021 Late Winter Trip #11
These shots were with the 500 f4 and 2X teleconverter on the R5: surprisingly useable………..

There were a few Cackling Geese in among the Whitefronts………….
Twilight Geese
The last photos from my trip last week.
Chaos and Panic
The Goshawk caused the Cackling Geese to dramatically scatter……………….
Golden Cackling Geese
The Geese eventually settled down in the autumnal sunshine…………..
Although they were still a bit jumpy.
More Cacklers
Some more Cackling Geese from last week.
The commonest one
The most numerous of the 4 goose species at Urahoro seemed to be Cackling Goose. Loads of them…………………
Sunshine and geese
As I said the second day with the geese saw much better weather.
The next day………..
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.

East Hokkaido September Trip #21
The Cackling Geese eventually settled down and some even came quite close to the roadside.
