Great birding video, can you please share the cruise booking contact. Always wanted to do winter birding in Hokkaido. Thanks you

did your lens fog up when you moved out of the heated cabin

[@nickpitsasphoto]

No. Its when your camera is very cold from being outside for a while, then go into a warm space, that your lens fogs up. If your camera is in a camera bag when you come inside, leave it in the bag for a couple of hours so that it warms up gradually.

Last time I was in Hokkaido one of the locals told me that if it gets very snowy you can't access Shiretoko. Do you have any experience with this in February?

[@nickpitsasphoto]

Yes, that's right. Most of the Shiretoko Peninsula is not accessible by road during winter, including February.

When exactly was this video shot? I’m planning to visit both Utoro and Rausu on February 10 to experience the drift ice up close.

[@nickpitsasphoto]

Hi, thanks for the question. The video was shot on February 14th. Hope you have a great time in Utoro and Rausu!
