Birdwatching in Takatsuki, Senri-chuo, Yamada-ike Park, Osaka and Takarazuka (9 February, 2025)

 It was quite a hectic birding day, visiting four sites in one day, and we managed to see Baer's Pochard, which I think pleased our guests.  Showing Yellow-throated Bunting was not possible, which was disappointing.
