Fair. 13℃。Strong wind.
Regrettably, Tufted Puffins could not be seen today, either. They are very late to come this year.
But I believe some of them will appear maybe tomorrow.

Syun-kuni-tai 1,451

＜Syun-kuni-tai＞　　　By Eagle
　After a long interval, I visited Sun-kuni-tai this morning for waders. Against my expectation, a very few number and spices of waders could be confirmed. Maybe too early.
I also found 3 Great White Herons feeding on the mud flat.
They are rather southern birds and basically rare in Hokkaido, but the number is increasing a lot recently because of  probable "greenhouse effects".
