We chose Izumi Shizen Koen for our first birdwatching of the year on the New Year's Day.
Unfortunately, it was rather windy and we didn't see as many as we had hoped for. There were 100+ ducks (the total number not the number of the species, of course!) in one of the ponds but they were all near the far end of the water, seemingly sheltering from the chilly winds.
a lovely Grey wagtail (Kisekireiキセキレイ)
I forgot to take the photos of the park itself, which was unusual! I will go back some time soon, hopefully, and take some environment in and around the park.
We have been to this park only once and written about it in the blog more than 10 years ago just after coming to Chiba to live in in 2013.
