Goodbye winter bird, the start of the countdown! Memories of Eurasian wigeon.

[Usako of Tsukuda] 12:00 on March 20, 2017

On March 17th, we entered the equinoctial week, and finally the winter birds' departure to the north was approaching.

 

The winter birds that wintered near the Sumida River Terrace of Ishikawajima Park this season were about 20 birds in northern pintail, 1 pair in mallard and 40 birds in Eurasian wigeon. Northern pintail was getting less and only one pair showed up this morning.

 

Eurasian wigeon, seen here in Ishikawajima Park, usually spends time avoiding people on the seawall of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology in Koto-ku, opposite shore.

 

However, on a rainy day, I come to Ishikawajima Park, where traffic has disappeared. 14 or 5 birds are organized into 3 groups. Eurasian wigeon loves the lawn in the park, and you can go up and eat on land.

For some reason, Eurasian wigeon, who chooses the lawn on the Chuo-ku side instead of the lawn on the Koto-ku side, is cute. 

I'm sorry to say goodbye to such a landscape.

Collaboration with Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Eitai Bridge is a shutter opportunity to see if there are two times in one season. To avoid surprise, gently capture the figure from the distance to the last minute.

 

Eurasian wigeon and others who breed in the tundra area of the Eurasian Continent and come to Japan in autumn.

 

I want you to gain physical strength with the grass of Ishikawajima Park and go over well.
