This morning\u2019s weather was terrible, but I thought I would go to Isahaya and try to see the immature Steller\u2019s Sea Eagle that arrived last Thursday.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d seen heaps of these raptors in Hokkaido so it wasn\u2019t a big deal for me personally (hence waiting this long to go and try spotting it!), but it would have been interesting to watch one in an area where they haven\u2019t been recorded in almost 30 years.<\/p>\n

Summer breeders are already starting to arrive, such as this adorable Little Ringed Plover.<\/p>\n
