Next we went to check out some bigger birds, Tundra Swans, コハクチョウ
There were a number of places to see these swans in the coastal areas. We chose a spot near Yonago, because that was close by. However, the swans were not...

Always a pretty sight, the Common Shelduck. ツクシガモ




Male with a large knob on his bill
Female has a bit of white spotting on her face.



In the far distance was some springtime behaviour going on.
