Steller’s Sea Eagle Photography
Few birds command a frame quite like the Steller's Sea Eagle, with its immense yellow bill & striking black-&-white plumage making it a genuine highlight for any wildlife photographer. NaturesLens builds its Japanese itineraries around giving you extended time in front of these eagles, allowing for considered compositions rather than fleeting, opportunistic shots. It's a species that photographs superbly against the stark winter landscapes of Hokkaido, rewarding patience with real drama in the frame.
Where NaturesLens Photographs the Steller's Sea Eagle
NaturesLens runs its Steller’s Sea Eagle photography holiday, Amazing Japanese Wildlife in Winter, in Japan, with February the typical month for departures. The trip takes in a network of locations across Hokkaido, including Kushiro, Nemuro, Rausu, Nakashibetsu, Notsuke Peninsula & Lake Kussharo, alongside the wider circuit of Tsurui, Fuji Five Lakes, Lake Yamanaka, Jigokudani Monkey Park & Yudanaka. Together these sites give photographers a varied backdrop for the eagles while also taking in the broader spread of Japanese wildlife that the winter holiday is built around.
