Grey week in December


One of many Black Necked Grebes in the harbour at Kamiiso today during a gap in the snow. It's been a cold grey snowy week, not much birding and not many birds.

There were about 50 or so Black Necked Grebes.



Other stuff in around included the common seaducks (including Harlequin), Whooper Swana dn Glaucous Gull. Nearer town I could find only 1 Great Egret.........


The moat has frozen in Goryokaku park and the park itself was birdless. Sparrowhawk, Buzzard, Scaup were around a few days ago but not much else.

Thanks for clicking this link........

How I wish there were as many Black-necked Grebes like that in Beppu. Still haven't seen any this season. Hope to see these little red-eyed devil birds soon.

I don't need red eye reduction for these Grebes at least.
