Great Egret and Ural Owl at Onuma a few days ago...............
I guess I've been doing this blog 'seriously' since 2009 and both these species have featured heavily over the whole last 7 or so years.
There always seems to be a Great Egret on this ice free pind in Onuma.............
And the holes may change as trees collapse here and there but the Ural Owls always find another....................
Wonderful pics .. A delight to the eye .. Greetings
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Ana............
DeleteAwesome, great images of great birds
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave.............
DeleteI would love to see the Ural Owl.
ReplyDeleteYou have plenty in Canada David!
DeleteI envy the daylight Ural Owls you get up there. The Egret looks like an albus yes?
ReplyDeleteTheer are 3 at Onuma at the momnet and many more well known ones scattered across Hokkaido.
DeleteAlbus is the bigger subspecies that winters in Japan? If that is the case this bird probably is, I do see smaller individuals in spring..............
beautiful birds and photographs
