(307) Kingfisher at K.G. Ekimae Park

文字数 1,819文字

Kenkyu Gakuen Ekimae Park is a park that has become a test course for the robots which I introduced in "Chapter 239".

Someiyoshino cherry blossoms had already fallen, but I went there to see the Yaezakura (八重桜) in full bloom.

Cherry blossoms are usually pink. The deep pink Kanzan (関山) and the pale pink Fugenzo(普賢象) are also blooming in the park. These two are the most commonly seen Yaezakura.
In this park, rare green Gyoiko (御衣黄) is also planted. In Tsukuba City, you can only find Gyoiko here and in the Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute. In Ibaraki Prefecture, Gyoiko can only be seen in Tsukuba City and Hitachi City.

The park has a sanctuary of Ashihara (reed bed) and many wild birds.
Luckily, I met a kingfisher on the boardwalk.



① I’ve arrived at Kenkyu Gakuen Ekimae Park.



② From left to right are Kanzan (dark pink), Fugenzo (light pink), and Gyoiko (green) Yaezakura.



③ These are deep pink Kanzan cherry blossoms.



④ These are pale pink Fugenzo cherry blossoms.



⑤ These are green Gyoiko cherry blossoms.



⑥ I am in front of Kanzan and Gyoiko cherry trees.



⑦ Next to the cherry blossoms, there are Ashihara, or, reed beds (behind the tree on the right in the photo).



⑧ If you go along Ashihara, you'll find an old private house, “Tsukuba Style Hall”.



⑨ As I went further, there was the largest Kanzan cherry tree. It's splendid.



⑩ I’ve come back to the lawn near Ashihara.



⑪ A thrush (Turdus eunomus) is playing on the lawn.



⑫ A spot-billed duck (Anas zonorhyncha) is also walking on the lawn.



⑬ There is a van (Gallinula chloropus) near the pond.



⑭ Oh, there's something on the boardwalk over the pond.



⑮ It’s a kingfisher (Alcedo atthis).



⑯ When I approached, the kingfisher flew away. The building in the background is the City Hall. The kingfisher went back, so I'm going home now.
