A Kingfisher near Yakumo this afternoon.................
A pretty quiet day, not much around in Yakumo: Osprey, Peregrine, Great and Little Egrets, lots of Pintail and Teal but no waders anywhere.
We headed inland a bit and saw this Kingfisher.
Nearer home it was nice to see the several of the East Asian race of Common Gull in full breeding plumage.........
I am looking forward to seeing a few Kingfishers. The young ones are easier to get close to than the adults.
ReplyDeleteI hope that will the case.............
DeleteAre the Kingfishers likely to be feeding young in Hokkaido or is it too early for that ?
ReplyDeleteToo early AFAIK, the pond it was fishing in was frozen only a few weeks ago...........
