May 5th is children's day in Japan.
My husband and I forgot about "things to do" and stayed at Hiokayama Park, Hyogo Prefecture to watch wild birds.
We left our place at 9:00 a.m. We drove to the park for about 30 minutes. We stayed there for all day about 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
I would like to show you several pictures of birds that I took there.
This bird is named Varied Tit in English or Yamagara in Japanese.
The parent bird is taking care of their chicks at the nest.

Long-tailed Tit or Enaga
Oriental Greenfinch or Kawarahiwa
Great Tit or Shijukara
It was a national holiday that day, so we met several birdwatchers waited for their chances of taking the pictures of the beautiful bird named "the common kingfisher" or Kawasemi in Japanese.
You may see that this bird, the kingfisher, has black lower beak (the bottom of lip) which means that this is a male kingfisher. For female birds, they have red lower beak.
This bird has a small fish in the beak.
