A Red Throated Diver in Kamiiso 3 years ago today. It was very tame as it drifted into the port................probably because it had a badly damaged wing. I hope it recovered...............

February 26th 2012

A Ural Owl in Onuma 3 years ago today. There are several holes where they appear in winter and this was a nice one close to the road. As the holes are invariably in dead trees their homes have a limited life.............this tree has since fallen and the Owls can no longer use it.
