駕与丁公園でバードウォッチング

妻の実家からほど近い駕与丁公園で子どもを遊ばせつつ横目でバードウォッチング。^^;

ここの公園は、池に柵がなかったりルアー釣りをしている人がいたりと比較的、自由な感じでした。

鳥の方はというと期待していなかったカササギが収穫。ほかにハチジョウツグミやツグミ、シロハラ、エナガ、シジュウカラ、キュウシュウコゲラ、ヒドリガモ、コガモ、マガモ、カンムリカイツブリ、カイツブリなどなどでした。

池に柵がないので子どもから全く目が離せない鳥見でした。頑張ればもう少し見つけられるかもしれませんね。

So it turns out you can see Eurasian Magpies in Fukuoka without going all the way to Saga.

A Naumann's Thrush accustomed to people. Park birds tend to be relatively unwary, but the birds in this particular park were especially tame.
