Teuri island

There were not so many migration birds in Teuri island,too.

At first, Spotted Seals and Japanese Cormorants.

Many Gold Crest and vast Dusky Thrush (I didn't take photo) were observed....

 Northern Wryneck sang several place.

Latham's Snipe bleeds in this island.

This was only my lifer: Greater Short-toed Lark with a subspecies of White Wagtail ocularis.

Teuri island, Hokkaido. 3th and 4th/May/2011.

Three lifers per a day

During in Shimane, I counted three lifers in one day.

Upland Buzzard which breeds in Mongolia and wintering around there comes rarely to Japan.
This individual was disscused juvenile or adult, my power birder friends argued about that but conclusion was not decided yet. It was so shy to approach.

Shore Lark was in flock of Skylark.

Flock of Pallas's Reed Bunting consisting ca. 15 individuals feeding on grass land.
I recognized that it was different activity and habitat selection between Reed Bunting and Pallas's Reed Bunting.
Pallas's likes grass land and on ground feeding, the other likes reed habitat feeding on stem of it.
