Birdwatching and Wildlife watching in Hokkaido (February 10 - 14, 2025)

 Perhaps because of the stormy weather a few days earlier, there were few sea ducks and other seabirds, there was a lot of snow and the trip was generally unsatisfactory. Ezo sika deer were still present on the Notsuke Peninsula, much to the delight of the tourists.
