Aoba no Mori Koen

On the 24th March, the cherry blossoms in the Kanto area are 'officially' in full bloom:) Loads of people were having 'Ohanami' parties wherever you could find some room under the cherry trees.

In Aoba no Mori Koen...

...away from the partying people,

a female Hawfinch was enjoying her breakfast:)

Female Hawfinches don't have a black eye-patch (so we learned!).

She seemed so determined to eat and didn't mind us watching her quite closely:)

A White Wagtail was jumping up and down to catch insects:)

Grey Starlings came down to the lake to have a nice bath.
