Traditionally, I went solo camping in January in Isahaya, stayed in the car and didn't do anything but hold my binos and camera. Despite the promising conditions and the number of active birds a few weeks before, there was little to see this time. Few birds, few people. However, one Owl appeared at the end of the afternoon.
Short-eared Owl, コミミズク
The large flocks of Baikal Teals, トモエガモ performed well at dusk
A young Peregrine Falcon, ハヤブサ was very cooperative, posing for a few long minutes
The next morning was rather quiet on my side of the field. Raptors were chasing the ducks as expected, but they stayed at a distance. Overall, there were very few Harriers of any kind.
