Saw this thing flying. Not sure what kind of bird that is.

On the beach near Kamakura, Japan.

Well, there's a scale, there's a scale, there's another one, in fact I'm sensing scales all over it ...

Sorry!

I found one about a month ago, a little bigger. Strange birbs indeed.

There are lots of flightless birds and a few flightful mammals (i.e. bats). Not any truly flying fish as yet. But presumably a few million more years might produce a properly flying member of the Exocotidae family.

Scared him out of the water!

Love watching fish pop at sundown!

Wife: "Oh! What was that?"

"Dinner if he's not fast enough."
