Winter waders


Dunlin, the default small wader back in the UK, is not so common in Japan...............

Hello Kitty


A close up of a Black Legged Kittiwake in Menegawa this morning. Annoyingly the harbour was the only place in the whole area under clouds, there were lots of them to-ing and fro-ing but my BIF attempts were not great (also I had the 1.4 extender on). White birds against dark grey skies just doesn't work.

Not much else around. A few Crossbill in the east of town, that's about it.................

Winter is coming



2 common winter birds in Kamiiso this afternoon. Very very dark and overcast. Handheld from the car.

A strong wind from Siberia, snow flurries in the air and Glaucous Gulls on the beach. Winter is coming..................

Sunshine comes back as work returns...............


After having my 2 days off ruined by horrible weather the sunshine came back as I returned to work...............

Luckily I could sneak a couple of hours in at Kamiiso and the American Wigeon was still there..............

New camera and (almost) new bird


My 7D Mark 2 arrived on Saturday. Naturally the weather has been unrelentingly awful ever since....................
