Chofu Wholesale center to Nogawa Park (December 15th)

Lots of the leaves are gone at the Nogawa Park. It looked pretty different from what we saw last weekend.

Today we went to Chofu Wholesale center (Musashino Market) to get some hams for the Christmas. They have more stuff for Chrismas and New Year's day season now. We had Sushi for brunch and then rode our bicycles beside the Nogawa river to Nogawa Park. We saw lots of kinds of birds beside the river today. Even we found some kingfishers, too.

調布卸売センターへクリスマス用にハムを買いにいってきました。お昼はおやじ丼屋で握りずしをいただきました。前回よりも自分好みのネタがそろっていたので大満足でした。野川沿いを野川公園までサイクリングする間に、たくさんの種類の鳥、特にカモの仲間たちを見ることができました。カワセミにも数回、出くわすことができました。

Larus ridibundus (Black-headed gull, Yurikamome)
In summer, their heads change the colors into black.


Can you tell what this is?


The answer is Alcedo atthis (Common Kingfisher, Kawasemi).
This photo was taken by my friend, Daniel.

We found a couple of chickens too.
何故か鶏のつがいも…いったいどこから来たんでしょう。
