Birdwatching in Maioka Koen (2 January, 2021)

 Few birds in this winter in the park.  Although Wryneck, Woodcock, Grey Bunting and Eastern Water Rails are all recorded in the park, all of them are rather difficult to see this winter.

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.
