— about my bird watching and molluscan research —

I am watching wild birds in Takashima Suisaisen Park, which was located at the northern end of Yokohama Minatomirai 21 area.

This observation started in October 2022, and now 45 species of wild birds were recorded.
Actually, many wild birds have been living in a small park in a big city.

The wild birds observed from 2024–2025
