Birdwatching in Kiba Koen (March 12, 2023)

 As I heard a news about a large flock of waxwings, I got up early in the morning and visited the park from 7:30 AM.  There were already more than 30 birders.  The waxwings were seen in the close distance, though it was too dark to take good quality photos.  After I walked around the park, I briefly dropped in the small water pool.  The waxwings visited in the small garden with good sun lights.

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.
