Kamchatka Gull #5 Plus a couple of birds past Cape Nosappu

Kamchatka Gull #4

Obviously the highlight of any trip to Japan is the chance to see Kamchatka Gull. We found a small group on the Notsuke peninsula. As there doesn't seem to be many pics of this taxon on X, a few to follow for those interested in such frippery...

@bri66thomp no

@CVLbirding Is the 4th pic the Cheddar bird🤔🤣🤣

For those who might be interested in such things, a few P. g. holbollii that I photographed recently

Currently in Japan on important thrush-business with @Juddhunt1 @PortlyLeader

@AllanConlin @Juddhunt1 That's less than he usually leaves behind 😄

@Juddhunt1 🤣🍑

Messrs Elliot , Humphreys , McKee & me celebrating the end of my 25/26 #Antarctica season. Negotiating BA traffic and 33'C heat with cases and a hangover not recommended 😉🥴 Great to have them on board and good look to them as they cross to the North Atlantic . 🌊🌊🌊

@AllanConlin 🐧🐧🐧

Some extra ordinary summer time weather here in #Antarctica at the moment. Flat calm seas creating mirror like conditions . 🐧🐧🐧

Final batch of the Antarctic cruise, only a year after I took them I still have all the Falklands and Argentina stuff to do 🙃 flickr.com/photos/richand…

Still going at it with the Antarctica pics... flickr.com/photos/richand…

What is it about cats that DEMAND you sing songs about them. I sing riddles, rhymes, rhapsodies about her triangular ears, her toe beans, her chonky cheeks. I sing to her while she sleeps, I sing about her when she’s not even in the house. I think she likes it.

@PortlyLeader We also caught up with the Unst Blackpoll on its second day, very windswept amongst the seaweed... flickr.com/photos/richand…

@PortlyLeader Some more snaps of the Shetland Sibe Thrush, if you haven't seen enough already 😍🔥... flickr.com/photos/richand…
