Birdwatching in Takatsuki and Kadoma (January 29, 2023)

As the weather was better than yesterday, I visited same ponds with the other friend.  Both ducks were still present and active.  A mysterious duck, which looks like Baer's Pochard male, was also in Kadoma.

 We visited two small ponds in Takatsuki and Kadoma where two rare ducks were found.  Both Baer's and Red-crested Pochards were seen well.
