Visit to Nature Observation Park;

(I've change the header with really unmatched one for newer post; I especially feel so sorry for the friends coming from the previous post's links.) 

*Kirara-Hama Nature Observation Park*
On 29th, we visited  this Nature Observation Park located about half an hour drive away from home. Originally, this was the reclaimed land for farming but had been left unused.  This park was opened in 2001 by using the land.  My husband heard that we can see butterflies in the reed-field and wished to visit this place. Although we could see only a few butterflies and birds this time, we'll visit here again to see more of them.

Four-spotted Skimmer and Common skimmer (female)

And Birds;  Black Coot.  Little Grebe.  Duck

*Entrance and the Building for observation & event*

Kids were playing with  Takeuma and Otedama (←link to my post of 2011)

PS:  Four-spotted Skimmer really looks like Libellula angelina which we thought we found p:-)  Libellula angelina is called 'Tortoise Shell Dragonfly' in Japanese.  There are little differences for them, for example the black spots of  'four-spotted' are smaller.
