Waterfowl in Hamarikyu Garden

[Sam] December 15, 2011 10:30

R0015629LS.JPG The only one in Tokyo Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a representative daimyo garden with a pond with tide and two duckbas (the existing Kamoba are five places nationwide), Koshindo Kamoba and Shinsenza Kamoba.

The water in the pond connected to the sea is brackish water mixed with seawater and freshwater. For this reason, fish such as bora, seigo, goby and eel live in the pond, and the rocks and stones arranged around the pond are crawled with Benkeigaji and crumbia.

In the past, Kamoba was used from late autumn when winter birds fly to early spring of the following year. Even now, the park is surrounded by waterways on all sides, is dotted with ponds, and has a sense of liberation. At this time, in addition to resident birds such as Indian spot-billed duck, herons, little grebe and cormorants, migratory bird such as tufted duck, Hoshihajiro, northern pintail, Eurasian wigeon, green-winged teal, etc. dike is built on the shore side, and many Japanese plums are flocked.
