Waterbirds at Hamarikyu Onshi Garden

[Sam] 10:30 on December 15, 2011

R0015629LS.JPG The only city in Tokyo Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a representative daimyo garden with a pond with tides and two duck fields, Koshindo Kamoba and Shinsenza Kamoba (there are five existing Kamoba in Japan).

The water in the pond connected to the sea is brackish water mixed with seawater and fresh water. For this reason, fish such as bora, seigo, goby, eel, etc. live in the pond, and the rocks and stones placed around the pond are creeping with Benkeigani and crumbling.

In the past, Kamoba was used from late autumn when winter birds flew to the early spring of the following year. Even today, the park is surrounded by waterways on all sides, overgrown trees, dotted with ponds, and a sense of liberation. At this time, there are many birds such as Indian spot-billed duck, herons, little grebe, and kawa, as well as migratory bird such as tufted duck, Hoshihajiro, northern pintail, Eurasian wigeon, green-winged teal, etc. Dike is built on the coast, and many lilies are flocked.
