In Hakodate they feed in working fishing ports, I guess there are always people around doing fishing realated stuff who just ignore them the same as they would the gulls or crows. I suppose they're just used to people. The only Brents I saw in the UK were a flock in East Anglia that were extremely wary.Stuart Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103599639814558640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87028664231108455.post-82327501486297402642013-02-01T23:44:58.617+09:002013-02-01T23:44:58.617+09:00I wonder why they are so unafraid in Japan?
