Bar Tailed Godwit also at Kamiso in September.
My new 7D in October meant lots of BIF shots. This Night Heron was pretty much the first shot I managed with my new camera.

The eagles appeared in good numbers at Yakumo, as of now I haven't gotten any really nice shots this winter. Hopefully as winter progresses they'll get a bit tamer.

It's snowing outside and has been for a couple of days now, the snow plows were out in force last night too. Looks like winter 2009/10 has finally started.

Hi Again a nice set... The stints sequence is perfect and really fantastic, but I've to admit that my favorite pictures are the ones of the eagle! you have awesome eagles'pictures! A beautiful country you are living in!
ReplyDeleteHi! I was browsing the blog ranking, and found your blog. I very much enjoyed all the nice and crisp shots, and was surprised that there were so many kinds of birds in Hokkaido. I am Japanese and living in North Carolina now, and started birding last year. But please don't say your blog is professional people only...
ReplyDeleteHi BirdBrained, I'm a complete and utter amateur so don't worry about it...........
