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

Birdwatching in Funabashi, Chiba (7 February, 2015)
Funabashi area is probably the largest wintering site for Eurasian Oystercatcher. About 40 birds were seen today.
There were also a Common Ringed Plover, a flock of Sandering as well as Dunlin, Grey Plover and common ducks such as Northern Pintail and Greater Scaup.
Although I heard two Little Stints have been staying there, I didn't find them.
