The other day, I heard the news of a swan flying on TV. It was 4 days earlier than usual. When will northern pintail and Japanese plums come here at Ishikawajima Park on the Sumida River? Unfortunately, bird watching has become a hobby this year, and I don't have any past data.
On October 12th, you can see a different silhouette from the usual Indian spot-billed duck! What is it?
One male mallard and two female northern pintail! It's been seven months since I couldn't see it in March.
mallard male, called Eclipse, is a sober color before it grows into beautiful feathers in the breeding season. When it grows, the head turns green.

On October 20th, we were able to see two male northern pintail! It's quite different from females. These males are growing on breeding feathers.
On October 22, the bird of the capital of Tokyo, the lily turtle, finally came! ! It's been five months since I went across in May. There is no distinction between males and females.
Winter birds come to Japan for wintering from Siberia. While in Japan, males are growing beautifully in order to find their marriage partner. It's nice to see a beautiful figure.
From now on, the number of northern pintail, the gulls and the mallard will fly, and the variety will be bustling with Eurasian wigeon, Hoshihajiro and tufted duck. I'm looking forward to it.
