I spent a couple of hours in Irifune this afternoon. It was a mild but dark grey day................the slush and melting snow was a real pain to walk on.
Brent Geese are the specialty in this place.............there was a flock of 30 or so pretty tame ones. Most of these photos are uncropped.
My group shots didn't come out too well so all today's pics are of ones or twos.
This was my first visit to the Brents this year................it's good to have such a photogenic species on my doorstep and ther'll be plenty of photo opps in late winter and early spring.
Other birds included several Black Necked and Slavonian Grebes, Harlequin Duck and Scaup. On the river near my flat this week there were 3 Great Egret and lots of Goosander but no more flocks of waxwings in the last 3 or so weeks................hopefully they'll arrive soon.
Thanks for clicking this link.......
