Birdwatching in Shin-Yokohama Koen (7 January, 2018)

My 3rd individuals of Ring-necked Duck in my 34 years birding life.  Last time, I saw a female in Osaka in 2001 while the first one was seen in the 1980's.  This female was less active today and mostly sleeping during my 3.5 hours stay.

Birdwatching in Igashira-Koen and Oarai Coast (3 January, 2018)

Although our original target was Red-crested Pochard, we changed to visit Igashira-Koen and Oarai to see Smew and Harlequin Duck.  We missed the former but enjoyed photographing Harlequin Duck.
