This was a small place where they had wild owls coming in for dinner. It was arranged with special lighting that did not disturb the owls but let us take shots. We was in a cold shed where the windows could be taken out for a better view. It was COLD!
First evening we saw this male and the second night the male and later on one of his daughters. The owner of the place said that for the moment they had the male and 3 young ones coming almost every day.

These birds seemed to like it in Rausu even though it was cold. Not sure why they stay here in Japan as they leave my country when it gets cold.

Well. I´m no expert on gulls but in these shots I think I have Slaty-backed gull and one Glaucous-winged gull. And also one crow, Carrion crow.

A few female Red-breasted Merganser were swimming in the harbor.
In a way I think it is weired to travel that far just to find the same birds you have at home. Not that I see them often, but still.   :)
