I left it way too long and today, on the last day of the year a long list of photos is waiting.
I will start with the A for Atori, the Japanese name for Brambling. Huge flocks seen in Itoshima.

Ducks sometimes, when the mudflats are flooded, come resting in the fields.
ツクシガモ, Common Shelducks

オカヨシガモ, Gadwall　

And another flock, Greenfinches this time.
