After a long spell of bad weather I went to Isahaya again in February, more or less because I could not think of another place. It was sunny, but very windy. Small birds were mostly absent. Raptors flew, but not often. The lack of birders should have warned me. However, there is always something to see.
Female Hen Harrier, ハイイロチュウヒ first thing in the morning
Eastern Buzzard, ノスリ
I checked out the regular points.

Common Starlings, ホシムクドリ
Surprise of the day. Fox, キツネ
This Buzzard perched on top of the tree had me thinking. Could it be a Rough-legged Buzzard, ケアシノスリ ???
The clouds had rolled in and colors turned grey. These Falcated Ducks, ヨシガモ 3 males and 1 female had me entertained with their actions of display. If only the sun came through...
After that I drove back home
