Ecology Park (I'm back!)

It's September, it's in the middle of September, and yet it is incredibly HOT and HUMID in Chiba. 

I'm back to Chiba and have been trying back to bird-watching life. 

To start with, I went back to the Ecology Park in Aoba no Mori Koen, Chiba.


very calm and peaceful🌳


A juvenile Kingfisher (Kawasemiカワセミ) appeared from nowhere and perched on the pole😍

6 Spotbilled Ducks (Karugamoカルガモ) were foraging on water. 

a graceful Great White Egret (Daisagiダイサギ)

had a private matter... sorry! 😄


moss growing on a wooden bridge


A Chinaberry (Sendanセンダン) tree laden with fruits


An one-hour walk was very satisfying, although there weren't many bird species to see. 

Probably the weather will change in a week or so (I do hope so!), then some wintering birds will have arrived.
