Birdwatching in Maioka Koen, (11 December, 2011)

It already took one month since I visited there last time in November. As it was on Sunday, there are many photographers who visited the park for photographing birds. I enjoyed photographing a male Japanese Green Woodpecker and Common Kingfisher, though I wasn't able to see many winter migrant species.
