The port just outside town was very quiet: just a couple of Red-breasted Mergansers and a handful of Coot.
The ports have generally been poor for birds this winter, I wonder why?

While I was waiting
There were quite a few birds in the port whilst I was waiting in vain for the Steller’s Sea Eagle to move…….
Red-breasted Merganser, Scaup, Common Goldeneye, Black-necked Grebe, Pelagic Cormorant and Glaucous-winged Gull to be exact.
DIFs
There were lots of duck species around at Yakumo today. The avove Falcated Duck and a male Garganey were the most interesting and there were also Gadwall, Shoveler and another dozen or so species as well as Mandarin Duck and Smew at Onuma.
All flight shots today.
