The overwintering Gyrfalcon at Sawara 3 years ago today.
It put on a real show this day and was very very tame as it snacked on fish scraps pilfered from the local Black Kites.............
Here's a video from that day............

A male Pine Bunting 2 years ago today on the coast near Mori.
This is a scarce but regular winter visitor to south Hokkaido. Small flocks move around the (usually) snowbound beaches and sand dunes and if you're lucky and in the right place at the right time you might just see them..............

Another nice duck...............
After 3 or 4 days of heavy snow and real winter weather at last we headed to Onuma on Sunday to see if the Ring-necked Duck and/or Baikal Teal were still present.
They weren't unfortunately but I did see 3 Falcated Teal.................not as rare as the others but still fairly exotic.
