On several occasions I set out to find seabirds, preferably Pacific Loons or Divers. It was pretty hard. I mostly had to make do with Cormorants...
Japanese Cormorant aka Temminck's Cormorant, ウミウ
Japanese Cormorant, ウミウ and Pelagic Cormorant, ヒメウ (on the right)
Pelagic Cormorant, ヒメウ
A pair of Red-breasted Merganser, ウミアイサ quickly got out of my view
As I searched the horizon I noticed some movements, but could not identify anything other than "white dots"
Earlier this month on similar trips it wasn't much better, though I think these 2 birds could be Loons, オオハム
Loons? オオハム
Greater Crested Grebes, カンムリカイツブリ and Red-breasted Merganser, ウミアイサ by the looks of it. Certainly no Loons
Some creature that stayed with me for a while, Japanese Weasel, ニホンイタチ
Fishermen at work
For the record: Great Cormorants, カワウ closer to shore
