The Crossbills seemed to have thinned out in Hakodate and Oshamanbe but we found a flock yesterday next to another port.
There were some Siskins in amongst them too.
Other stuff around included Redpoll, Osprey, my first Eastern Marsh Harriers and Oriental Turtle Doves of the year plus the usual common ducks and gulls. No Eagles anywhere…………
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.
The last photos of the Crossbills at Oshamanbe, these are from the start of last week.
My favourite bird species and I never tire of them (you may have noticed).
These ones were especially tame and I had my 500mm lens with me too.
