Birdwatching in Kujukuri, Chiba (21 February, 2015)

A male Surf Scoter has been staying in Kujukuri area in Chiba.  

It is a very rare winter migrant from America.  Although the weather was fine, due to rough wave, we were unable to find the Surf Scoter. 

We, however, enjoyed photographing Red-necked Grebe and Black Scoter which were relatively close in a small fishery port.

Other species, what we saw were:

1. Temminck's Cormorant 2. Great Cormorant 3. Horned Grebe 4. Red-throated Loon 5. Velvet Scoter 6. Common Teal 7. Eurasian Wigeon 8. Common Pochard 9. Greater Scaup 10. Common Goldeneye 11. Velvet Scoter 12. Herring Gull 13. Black-tailed Gull  14. Sandering  15. Common Sandpiper 16. Common Buzzard 17. Black Kite 18. Water Pipit
