The last post of our visit to Izumi. Besides the cranes there are other birds of interest. The black and white Jackdaw, nicknamed panda, is popular among birders and photographers. The Daurian Jackdaw is the smallest crow that comes to Japan and appears in 2 types: black and white and all (dark grey-ish) black. In Izumi they usually hang out with the Rooks.
Daurian Jackdaw, コクマルガラス among Rooks, ミヤマガラス
The 2 types together. I don't know how to tell their gender
There were thousands of Rooks. More than other years?
In a muddy pool close to the center: about 100 Shelducks, ツクシガモ
Other regulars: Northern Lapwing, タゲリ
Often seen with Common Starlings, ホシムクドリ
Way out at the back was a group of geese. Maybe Bean Goose, ヒシクイ
And that was it. I hope to visit Izumi again next winter
