2021-04-21 A Wild Tanuki Appeared!

See? I TOLD you that new lens would come in handy!
Great shot. I had to look this animal up, it sounds like it is a huge part of Japanese folklore. Are they common to see?

Now that is the definition of a well timed capture. Lucky you.

@yoland @photographycrazy @bkbinthecity @sherimiya Thanks! This was the first time I'd ever seen a tanuki during the day time. I saw a whole family one time at night but didn't get a picture. I've seen a few since then briefly, but always at night.

No, seriously ???? I've NEVER seen a wild Tanuki. You sure are lucky to have that new zoom-y lens! I like how he turned around to pose for you. See, you'll miss Japan. Where else are you going to see a wild Tanuki?

@jyokota I know! I was so lucky - there was me wondering if my impulse purchase had been worth it, and lo and behold! This chap appeared. On the other hand, it'll be easier to get a picture of a wild haggis when I'm back in the UK, so there is that. I've always wanted to see one.

Ummm -- isn't haggis a food?

@jyokota Where do you think it comes from?! ;)

@cityhillsandsea Isn't it an organ of some sort made into a dish called haggis? No seriously, there's a haggis animal ?????
