It has been cold.
We went to watch birds in good and beautiful weather.
We met many kinds of birds.

We met “Lesser spotted woodpecker” that is not seen in this area.
And we met “Aegithalos caudatus” that is most poplar.
His eyes are really cute.
Recently “Aegithalos caudatus” is really poplar, and their photo albums are sold in the shop.
“Aegithalos caudatus” is the most poplar of all wild birds.

Everday snow is falling, and wind is strong. How about going on birdwatching to enjoy winter season in sunny day.

We hold “nature observation meeting for winter”.
This year in Sounkyou it’s very warmer than usual year, snow falling is later than usual year.
But now Sounkyo onsen town is covered with snow.
It’s beautiful!
Next month “Hyoubaku festival” will be held.
This festival is very famous, and you will surprise ice and snow sculptures..

We are looking forward to your visiting
