Milvus migrans
Leucosticte arctoa
The coal tit, is a small, active passerine bird in the tit family, Paridae. A widespread and common resident breeder in forests throughout the temperate to subtropical Palearctic, including North Africa. They have a dazzling geographic variation and inhabit coniferous and mixed woodland, forest, parks, and gardens. They visit bird feeders and are associated with foothills and montane areas throughout much of its eastern range. They often join mixed-species flocks in autumn and winter, moving quickly through the foliage and giving high-pitched calls.

Slaty-backed Gull
The slaty-backed gull is a large, white-headed, thickset, short-winged, pot-bellied gull that breeds on the north-eastern coast of the Palearctic, but travels widely during non-breeding seasons. It is similar in appearance to the western gull and the glaucous-winged gull. Often looks rather frosty by the first winter; starts to develop a gray back and whitish eye in its second year. Primarily an Asian species, found in coastal regions from Japan and South Korea to Russia. Regularly occurs in western Alaska, but very rare elsewhere in North America.

Steller's Sea Eagle, Japan.
Steller's Sea Eagle, Japan.
Smart birds the Crows always targeting the young eagles to steal food from, within seconds of this young eagle snatching a lump of fish the crows were surrounding it.
The arctic weather in northern most Japan creates amazing conditions for photography. Bright sunshine reflected off the frozen lakes and 50% frozen sea lights up the underside of flying birds like perfectly positioned flashes. -25C was the lowest I recorded one morning but usually -15C. Traditionally a wintering site for the spectacular Steller's Sea Eagle and White-tailed Sea Eagles provides the most amazing spectacle I have seen anywhere. Local fishermen put fish out for the Eagles which has concentrated the number, easily 50+ of each species with the same number seen up the coast in Rausu. The feeding sessions also attract Black-eared Kites (M. lineatus) and the amazing Large-billed Crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) at Lake Furen and the large gull species predominate at Rausu.

Swan Lake
Like much of Japan, Hokkaido is seismically active. Consequently, hot springs and volcanic vents can be found all across the island. Lake Kussharo, an inland lake in the western region of Hokkaido, is a caldera lake, a remnant of a long-ago erupted volcano. It is the largest of three caldera lakes that make up Akan National Park. And as with most geographic names in Hokkaido, the lake derives its name from the Ainu and the Ainu word “Kuccharo,” means “The place where a lake becomes a river.”
Its violent, seismic past is evident even today, with natural hot springs bubbling up along its shoreline, heating both the water and gravelly shores. It is here where the Whooper Swans gather to find refuge from Hokkaido’s brutally cold winters.
