Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (3 January, 2014)

New Year birding in Maioka Koen. Although Wryneck and (Eastern) Water Rail were seen early in the morning, I missed both. Enjoyed watching Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker and Brown-headed Thrush.  Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker has already shown breeding plumage of red patch on the nape.  Brown-headed Thrush is probably female.
