Birdwatching in Minuma-Koen, Saitama (January 31, 2021)

 A male Baikal Teal has been staying in the park.  This is his 5th winter.  Somehow, he never brings his partner.  Normally, Baikal Teal is very shy and wary duck.  Probably, I will not find any other Baikal Teal which is so tame and allows to approach within 1 meter.

Besides the Baikal Teal, there were a small flock of Brambling, three Pale Thrush, several Dusky Thrush and a few Hawfinches were observed.
