Visiting Tokyo Port Wild Bird Park
Last Sunday, I visited Tokyo Port Wild Bird Park (東京港野鳥公園: Tokyo-kou Yachou Koen).
This park is in Oi Pier area. It’s near from Ota Market.
In this park, there is artificial tideland and a lot of birds in there. Also there are some huts and a visitor center for watching birds.
This park is not famous. So a small number of people is in there.
It is 300 yen for an entrance fee of this park. You can
You can visit here with walking 15 min from Ryutsu Center Station of Tokyo-Monorail. But it is a little far. So visiting with car or taxi is good choice.
There are two areas in this park, West Area (small) and East Area (large). When I visited, there are just few birds in West Area. But there are many birds in large East Area.
Birds in the park
Spot-billed duck standing on one leg and resting.
Duck taking the bait desperately.
Grey heron
Two Japanese cormorans
Japanese cormoran standing on a stake. It has a little creepy colored eyes…
Little ringed plover. It runs very fast. It is difficult to take photos.
Great Egret
A small crab. There is soooo many crabs in the tideland.
By the way, recently, Kingfishers seems to have come back to central Tokyo area.
I could not find it in this park, but there are some in Mizumoto Park in Katsuchika-Ku.
I want to go there next time.
Anyway, Tokyo Port Wild Bird Park is good place for bird lovers.
