Birdwatching in Hiratsuka (February 21, 2021)

As my friend requested to go to take photos of waxwings, we went there together from 7:30 AM.  There were already more than 10 photographers though we were able to get enough space to take photos.  Very luckily, waxwings kept staying around Round Leaf Holly trees to feed fruits most of the time.  As number of photographers increased to over 40, we left about 10:30 AM after shooting over 1,500 shots.

Birdwatching in Oike-Koen (February 20, 2021)

 A rather warm and sunny day.  Although most of highlight species were not seen well, it was glad for me to see a female Ring-necked Duck after 30 December.  Japanese White-eyes were busy to feed nectar of plum flowers.
