Shitamachi Canal Walk

Hello, hello, hello!!
We are back in Tokyo:)

Went for a walk by the canals in the Shitamachi area to see lovely birds we had missed for half a year.

A flock of very chatty Azure-winged Magpies (Onagaオナガ).

Some of the birds looked young like this one.

Grey Herons (Aosagiアオサギ) were on the roof of the leisure centre!

On the bird island, there were at least 7 Grey Herons, having a rest and/or preening, and one of them was collecting some twigs and sticks for mending his nest. (but why now??)

Sunbathing? Intimidating?

saw about 8 Spot-billed Ducks (Karugamoカルガモ) altogether but there was no sign of wintering ducks yet.
