A not terribly good pic of a young Goshawk at Shikabe this afternoon. This and a Peregrine were terrorising the Japanese Green Pigeons...........
It was grey, windy and drizzly on the coast around Shikabe. We checked Kamiiso (twice) but couldn't find any waders, at Onuma there were only common birds and mosquitoes. In the mountains near Mori we saw 3 Crested Kingfisher but they were way too far off for any pictures.
Still really hot, the weather has to break this week. Surely?
Thanks for clicking this link.......

Nice shot of the goshawk even against the white sky, Stu.
ReplyDeleteAs you mentioned about the green pigeons, think I need to go look for them soon.
They are so elegant in flight.Good capture!!
ReplyDeleteI would really appreciate a visit.I'm not at all sure that I have posted a photo of a juvenile Blackbird.:( Could you tell what it is please.:)
Nice dramatic in-flight pose. I'm waiting for the season to change and look out for these guys hunting ducks but it's so hot. Niigata had its highest temperature ever yesterday and it's so humid today I just feel sick.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments.
ReplyDeleteRussell-it was unbelievably hot here last night too, impossible to sleep (we have no aircon), must be several degrees hotter in Nigata............don't know how you can put up with it!
