Nemuro to see Red -faced summer plumage

I went to Nemuro at 29th April to attend sea bired cruise, but strong wind abandoned.

Instead of that, I had one more fun: flock of Red-faced Cormorant assembled for preparing bleeding at Nosappu cape the edged of Nemuro peninsula.

Arriving the spot a young individual stayed the spot.

After observation, I moved to other place to see other sea birds, but I didn't feel satisfication.
Returning to the spot, a adult stayed the same place with a Japanese Cormorant!

After observation, I moved to Rausu to see the biggest owl...
