Frame 1
I went to Ikegonomori Nature Park in Zushi!
This area has been used as a joint facility for the U.S. military, but a green space park was opened in 2016.
It features nature that has remained untouched for about 70 years.
Frame 2
At the nearest Jinmu-ji Station, I spotted a strange Carrion Crow banging its head and cawing loudly.
What's that crow doing?
Frame 3
There were lots of Eurasian Tree Sparrows on the walls of the sports area.
So Kawaii!!!!
Frame 4
I also saw birds of prey such as Eastern Buzzard and Sparrowhawk!
I was soothed by the abundant nature and wild birds.
Last week, I went birdwatching at Ikegonomori Nature Park in Zushi City.
I participated in the crowdfunding campaign below, and became interested, so I went.
This area has been used as a joint site for the US military, and joint use began in 2014, and the green park area was opened to the public in 2016.
It is characterized by nature that has remained untouched for about 70 years.
Because it is used jointly with the US military, the nearest Jinmu-ji Station has a ticket gate exclusively for the US Navy, and the scoreboard at the baseball stadium has an American style, giving it a unique atmosphere.
The entrance to the park is also the entrance to the US military base, which made me a little nervous.
Once inside, there was more to see than I had imagined from the map I had looked up in advance, and I was able to enjoy the rich nature and Kawaii birds!
I heard some small birds making a fuss, but then a (probably) Sparrowhawk flew out, and it was Kawaii to see Little Egret in the pond being startled.
↓ There were a lot of Eurasian Tree Sparrows on the wall of the sports area, which was so Kawaii.
↓ Apparently there are many different birds of prey to see, and on this day I also spotted Eastern Buzzard.
↓ Bull-headed Shrike
↓ There was also a museum where I was able to see many valuable excavated items.
