Birdwatching in Narayama Park and Yakushi-ike Park (March 4, 2021)

 Before they go back to their breeding ground, I dropped in a small pond in Narayama Park to see Mandarin Ducks.  Accordingly a local birder, there were about 50 ducks in winter months this year though I saw probably about 20.  In Yakushi-ike, about 6 km from Narayama Park, there is a male Mandarin Duck which allows to approach very close.
