Birdwatching in Choshi, Hasaki, Katori and Itako (13 December 2020)

Yellow-bellied Tit is a lifer for me. It is rather small and restless. So hard to shoot photos. Besides the tits, there were very few birds. Normally, about 10 species of gulls are seen. However, only four species were seen.

In Katori and Itako, some raptors were seen well.

1. Gadwall 2. Eastern Spot-billed Duck 3. Northern Pintail 4. Common Teal 5. Common Pochard 6. Tufted Duck 7. Greater Scaup 8. Red-breasted Merganser 9. Black-necked Grebe 10. Great Crested Grebe 11.

Birdwatching in Kasai Rinkai Koen Park (November 28, 2020)

Due to strong wind, small passerine birds were not seen well. We enjoyed raptors flying over Tokyo Disney Land.
