March 2015 Bird-watching Trips with Fu Kyo to Eboshi Jima

 Eboshi Jima, 
half way between Hakata Bay and Iki Shima, 
is known to the birders as a unreachable bird-haven island. 
You can't go there unless you have a boat.
 AND it must be flat calm to see the tinny little sea-birds that use this island as a base.
For the real bird-talk, please check out Marijke's blog:



So, off we went one Saturday morning with a group of keen bird-watching camera men & women.

AND a reporter for BS Asahi TV.
Yes Fu Kyo will be On Air:
21 April 2015 between 19:00 --- 21:00.
All Japan.

First thing to see that morning (06:15)...

Pretty Sunrise.

3 Days later, a second group of birders came on board.
Fu Kyo sailed the same course and again we spotted those tinny little amazing birds..
(see marijke's blog)
and more..

We land the birds on our deck for you!




How about this hitch-hiking night heron?
