Birdwatching in Maioka Koen, (11 December, 2011)

It already took one month since I visited there last time in November.  As it was on Sunday, there are many photographers who visited the park for photographing birds.  I enjoyed photographing a male Japanese Green Woodpecker and Common Kingfisher, though I wasn't able to see many winter migrant species.  Two male Common Kingfishers were fighting for appealing their territory for over 30 minutes. 

Observed species:
1. Grey Heron 1 2. Mallard 1 male 1 female 3. Spot-billed Duck 4. Chinese Bamboo Partridge (call) 5. Oriental Turtle Dove 6. Common Kingfisher 2 male 7. Japanese Green Woodpecker 1 male 8.
