Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (24 December 2013)

Although I went to Maioka Koen in Christmas eve, there was no special present.   It seems less winter visitors are staying in Maioka Koen this winter.

I enjoyed watching a Grey Heron was trying to swallow a turtle!

Birdwatching in Shinjuku Gyoen (22 December 2013)

A pair of Baikal Teal was easily found in one of the ponds.  According to local birdwatchers, they keep resting in the same place but sometimes come closer.  Besides the teal, no other interesting bird was seen.
