The marshy area was all frozen so there was no sign of ducks nor herons but 2 Kingfishers were fishing over the tiny stream which wasn't frozen. One of them caught a small crayfish, banging it on the tree branch and swallowed it!
All the seed-eaters were doing quite fine.saw. I saw a huge flock of Oriental Greenfinch (Kawarahiwaカワラヒワ) of about 40 and at another location a small flock of Brambling (Atoriアトリ）.
This lone Hawfinch (Shimeシメ) was my first in this season to observe very closely.
I heard quite a few Black-faced Bunting (Aojiアオジ) from the thicket and when a cat startled them out into the open, it was a great opportunity to see their beautiful bright yellow moustache and belly!
Usually, they are invisible like this:
A female Bull-headed Shrike (Mozuモズ) was hunting in the woodland area.
When I was just leaving the park, a flock of Long-tailed Tits (Enagaエナガ) were at the edge of the woods.
