Golden Week, the spring holiday in late April/early May in Japan, often brings rarities or semi-rarities...........
And today it brought a Saunders Gull.
This is the 3rd time I've seen this species in Hokkaido and the first time in Hakodate.
It's really a bird of southern Japan, where it is a regular winter visitor...........
Hopefully the first of a flurry of interesting birds this Golden Week..............
John Homes will be impressed!
ReplyDeleteMaybe this one was blown up from HK............
DeleteHe will probably be less impressed with my spelling of his name.
