Birdwatching in Choshi and Natsume-no-Seki (3 January 2021)

 We spent about two hours to find Yellow-bellied Tits.  However, they were keeping high up in dense pine trees.  So, my photos are not better than the last time's shots.

There are small number of gulls and grebes.  Even Glaucous-winged and Glaucous Gulls were absent.  

In Natsume-no-seki, we were able to see about 60-70 of Baikal Teals among a few hundreds of Mallard and Northern Pintail.

Observed species are as below.

1. Bewick's Swan 2. Falcated Teal 3. Eurasian Wigeon 4. Mallard 5. Eastern Spot-billed Duck 6. Northern Shoveler 7. Northern Pintail 8. Baikal Teal 9. Common Teal 10. Common Pochard 11.

Birdwatching in Inzai City, Motono Village and Abiko City

It is the first record on Siberian White Crane in southeastern Honshu.  Although I had seen a few times before, I visited there to see my friend.  Weather was fine and calm.  We immediately found the crane after arriving the feeding point.  There were about 50 people who were photographing the crane.  We joined with them and photographed it for 30 minutes.  Then, we visited several locations for watching open country birds.  Another highlight was Japanese Reed Buntings which are not so easy to see in winter.

Recorded species
