Last night was as windy as I can recall since a typhoon hit Hakodate 12 years ago..............
I was hoping the strong SW wind might have blown some vagrants our way but the only really visible migants were lots of Common Gull and Dusky Thrush.
Not much posing for the camera but I did see Pale Thrush, Pacific Swift, Black Faced Bunting. Gadwall, Peregrine, Osprey, Buzzard, Siskin, Hawfinch, Long Tailed Rosefinch, Great Egret, Grey Headed Woodpecker, Mandarin Duck, Harlequin Duck, Terek Sandpiper, Red Throated Diver and common stuff like the above Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker.
At Onuma lots of big trees had been blown over, it really was windy last night.
A full-blown typhoon you certainly don't need. Japan has sure had its share of disasters in recent years.
ReplyDeleteNot a typhoon this time, just a big storm, I thought the windows were at risk at one stage last night though..............
