Ogasawara Islands Ferry Trip 27-29 July
Hiroyuki TANOI
Dear seabirders,
We boarded ferry of Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands, Tokyo at the end of last month.
Because it was a voyage just after typhoon 12 passed, we were able to observe some rare seabirds in Japan.
Also We could observe a Swinhoe's Storm Petrel closely.
I posted some photos on the following URL.
