| Northern Goshawk Fukushimagata, Niigata, Japan November 5, 2012 |
Mr Honma and I checked out two wetland areas around Niigata today. First we went to Fukushimagata and were treated by this young goshawk which landed on a post behind the bird observatory for a few moments. She looked around just for a bit before departing and leaving us with a warm glow to the start off the day.
Secondly, we went to Hyoko and found a variety of ducks and Whooper Swans which have safely made it and which are likely to stay for the winter months.

Very nice Goshawk pics Russell, a bird I have never really been able to photograph.
A great collection of images this time especially the ducks.
Super Goshakw shots Russell. No chance of getting anywhere near a Gos here. Nice selection of ducks, and your landscape looks a good sort of birding spot I'd enjoy.
Instructive Goshawk shots, and some familiar faces among the ducks, too.
What an array of birds!
Brilliant, Russel and so much more than I can dream of achieving in my area... :( LOL!
