Jaapani kajakas, Larus crassirostris

Kuigi eestikeelne nimi viitab justkui sellele, et peale Jaapani seda kajakat kusagil mujal ei leidu, siis tegelikult võib nende kisa kuulda terve Kaug-Ida ranniku ulatuses ning mõned seikluslikumad tegelased on välja jõudnud ka Alaskale. Foto sai siiski tehtud "kodus" - Shimane prefektuuris, Jaapanis.

Although its Estonian name (Japanese Gull) suggests that this bird is found nowhere else but Japan, its cries can actually be heard all along the Far East coast. A few adventurous individuals have even made it as far as Alaska. This photo, however, was taken "at home"—in Shimane Prefecture, Japan.
