The park is still in a chilly weather depending on the day.

However, the birds in the park seem to be moving toward the spring.

The Black-faced Bunting, a typical secretive species in the park, currently often comes out shrubs and thickets.

It was rainy and later sunny today.

In the morning in a light rain a Common Buzzard stayed long on a tree on the island in East Freshwater Pond.

It looked around the area as if seeking a prey.
