MAM Day Eleven – More from Japan

Today we’ll take an ocean voyage looking for seabirds

Heading out there in our van. Looks like it’s going to be a chilly day.
These animals seem very familiar. Taken from our van window.
An encounter. This wonderful photo was taken by one of the other birders, not me, but I couldn’t resist including it.
On our way we stopped at an oceanic museum describing many of the creatures found in the sea in Japan.
Awww. No, they’re not alive. The miracle of taxidermy.
Definitely a wet and windy day for our intrepid birders.
Out on the wharf

These are the fishing boats. Which one will we be going out on I wonder?
This one! Hang on tight it’s going to be a rocky ride.
Our fearless captain
The lookout

These waters have a boundary between Russia and Japan. Two not too friendly countries.

Taken rom the Japanese side of the sea. The mountain is in Russia.
A lighthouse in the morning sun.
Back to shore. The Japanese love their motorcycles, many of which were manufactured in Japan – Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki. Sounds like a chant.
Fish for supper? But of course!
Next time, cranes
