I hope to see the duck next winter again 来冬も！

4冬連続で滞在した、ヒドリガモ×オナガガモの雄化と思われる雑種カモ。来冬も来てくれることを願っています。（画像は3月8日に撮影したものです）

This duck has been to Japan for 4winters. In March,  I could find a difference, black spots on its breast. I did not see clearly visible dots there like this when just come in October 2018. It is very interesting for me this seasonal change. I hope to see next winter, too!（Postscript：I  watched same bird on 26th March,too. ）

I was very lucky because I have an opportunity to join the Kamoba tour on 5th March in Koshigaya, Saitama. The Kamoba, where is belonging to Imperial Household Agency, is the special nature protection area for hunting ducks (Now catch, ringed and release).  It was very sacred and historical atmosphere. I hope to go again if I am lucky!
