Birdwatching in Notsuke, Rausu, Yoroushi & Tsurui in Hokkaido (February 5-6, 2025)

 Due to the record snowfall, we were stranded for a day and spent two days touring Rausu, Notsuke Peninsula and Tsurui. Because of the shortened itinerary, we had little time to see Red-crowned Crane, but at least we were able to see the birds we wanted to see.
Eagles were well present, perhaps due to the stormy weather of the previous day, and Blakiston's Fish Owl could be seen in the evening.
