| Hakodate Birding |
Just waiting for Winter to start A pic of Onuma this afternoon. A lazy hungover kind of Sunday (in my 20's/early 30's EVERY Sunday was like this). Very mild too. It'll get cold in a week or 2 (we changed our tyres to winter tyres yesterday) and then the snow and ice will be present until the middle or end of March. Not much of interest at Onuma-just the usual common woodland species including this Marsh Tit and Nuthatch.   The birds were pretty tame. These pics were taken by my wife with a normal compact camera (not attached to a Scope or anything) and cropped and sharpened on my computer. Not bad actually. I'm more kindly disposed to the previously derided Nikon P4 now. In Kamiso more of the same autumn stuff as per recently plus Pelagic Cormorant, Black Scoter, Smew and Black Necked Grebe. Small numbers of Dusky Thrush and Daurian Redstart passing through Hakodate this week are a sure sign winter is on the way. Lots of interesting sport on TV last night but it was all on at the same time! And tonight-nothing. If anyone wants a brand new KOWA 50mm ED Scope for xmas I know just the thing for you. Go to e-bay and find the aforementioned item and make a sensible offer to the charming seller. Go on. 19:14 - 19/11/2006 - post comment
