Sea birds

 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

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
