On February 26, the second parent-child bird watching party was held in Tsukuda today.

Sumida River Terrace in Ishikawajima Park → Kamejima Sluice Gate, Minami Takahashi → Tsukuda Park → This course goes around Tsukuda Kobashi.

Those who live in the Tsukuda and Tsukishima areas and are active as supporters of Chuo-ku cultural properties, and those who work in Tsukuda, provided guidance. .

Usako Tsukuda, who announces the charm of Chuo-ku, where wild birds live, on the correspondent blog here, became hooked on wild birds by this observation one year ago.

　

　

Here near Aioi Bridge, we could observe Ooban, mallard, Indian spot-billed duck, tufted duck and Eurasian wigeon.

　

　

In the vicinity of the Paris Square, we could observe northern pintail, Yurikamome, Segurokamome, starling, hakusekirei, common sandpiper, dusky thrush, brown-eared bulbul, and very rare winter birds.

　

　

Near Tsukuda Park, I could meet the blue bird Iso brown-eared bulbul and the rare butterfly bow flying over the sky.　

　

　

The children and parents who participated were surprised that there were many wild birds in this area where they live.　

With the cooperation of local people, the observation party that conveys the charm of nature in Chuo-ku is a truly valuable experience event.

The children learned not to kick the ball in the grass of the park, which is the home of wild birds, in order to protect wild birds.

And as the planting of Chuo-ku increases the number of fruit trees and shrubs that feed wild birds, Usako will become a `` beautiful central city of Tokyo that combines the city and nature '' that can be proud of the world even more. I thought strongly.

　

　

　

　

　

　

 

 

I went to birdwatching on January 30 at Hamarikyu Gardens.

First of all, on the Tsukiji River seen from the Ote-mon gate Bridge, the resident birds Indian spot-billed duck and the Ooban met us all year round.

　

Go inside and around the clock. In the canola flower field in full bloom and the grassland with plums, small birds are busy eating. This is Hakusekirei, Japanese white-eye, starling and brown-eared bulbul.

　

　

This is a winter bird that can only be seen in winter, a female from dusky thrush, pale thrush and daurian redstart.

　

　

When you come to the landing of the water bus, Tobi, dance, aerial battle? ？　The pheasant was quietly in the grass.

　

　

You can only meet in winter. This is the difference in size.

　

　

I came to Koshindo Kamoba. It's not too much. Last winter, it was even more dense, but this year it is a spacious space.

　

　

Are the winter birds mallard and Hoshihajiro taking a pleasant nap? ？ Onaga was up. It is to keep your body temperature open to your eyes and crouching your face.

　

　

It's near Ochiya in Nakajima, a pond of Shioiri.

　

　

From the left, the winter bird tufted duck, the center is green-winged teal, and the right is northern shoveler. northern shoveler is valuable because it can only be seen here in Hamarikyu in Chuo-ku.

　

　

Yokobori from the tide pond, little egret, Kawau and grey heron from the left.

　

　

Yokobori can see water birds closest to the garden. In addition, the sunshine is the best waterside in the garden, so you can see the birds swimming cutely.

　

This time, I met 22 kinds of birds in birdwatching in Hamarikyu Gardens.

　

☆Especially on cold days, the birds are only crouching, so they may lack a little fun. Also, at Koshindo Kamoba, you can see it even better if you have binoculars.

☆In the flower garden, birds will come when the traffic is gone, so please wait quietly.

☆Please note that Koshindo Kamoba has large trees and is shaded and cold, and some scaffolds are bad.

　

It is a wonderful garden where you can meet many birds and water birds at once in Chuo-ku, along with the seaside and forest and wild birds.

Please go out on a warm winter day.
