下には何がある? / What’s down there?
A large number of birds were gathered in a brackish water pond (probably so).
Sometimes I see ducks and other birds circling around in groups like this, eating something. This time, I thought they were very white, but it turned out to be a group of Black-headed Gulls and Smews. I also saw Northern Shovelers and Tufted Ducks. I personally don’t see them all at once very often, but I wonder if this is a common occurrence.
