Birdwatching in Oike-Koen (31 December 2020)

Probably the coldest day in this winter season.  Birds started to be active after 8:00 AM when sun lights reached into forest.  Although the last day of 2020, there are hundreds of people including 30-40 bird watchers, I was still able to take some good birds' photos, including Eurasian Jay, Red-flanked Bluetail and Siskin.

According to a local birder, there is a Eurasian Woodcock and Wryneck in this winter.  I will be back here probably next weekend.

 Sunny day with relatively warm weather.  It was so productive while I could cover almost all species, which may be seen in the three parks.
