Birds at Natural Park and Christmas Deco. at Hospital;

On 1st, we went 30 min. drive away natural park to check the winter bird.  Before that day at the end of last moth when I visited ophthalmology at general hospital for regular check-up after the surgery,  I found early Christmas Decoration inside the entrance.

Finding Redstart, Decoration and the Illustration(←here), I was tempted to arrange a post using these features :-)   Pictures are from inside the observatory, sorry bit blurry.

My husband took pictures of this Pochard dive into the water.

Happy having new knowledge not only Grebe but also some ducks also duck p:-)

This Osprey was perching really far away from where we were(^^;)

*Inside of the Hospital Entrance*

These decoration gave me peace of mind a little.  Kids with parents had happy faces, hope the decoration also ease their minds as well.   (by cell-phone)

This doll is our prefecture's Local Mascot Character, 'Choruru'.
