2024 - 02 NATURE & BIRDS OF JAPAN (Reedbeds & Swamps)

#Japan#Reedbeds & Wild Birds#
East of Tokyo, there is a wide region which is extra flat. It is windswept too. There are reedbeds and swamps with brackish waters probably due to the long coast with large rivers estuaries. This winter, in spite of the lower level of water, many ducks gathered there. It is also a place famous for birds of prey and small birds sheltering in the dry (in winter) vegetation.
It is a unique habitat and it is to be hoped that it will be protected.

こんばんは！ご視聴いただいてありがとうございました😊😊‼️沼と葦原は野鳥に特に良いけど野鳥を見つけるのはかなり時間がかかります：広いです：鴨例えばはあまり近づかない場合は多いです．風のないところも少ないので沼の周りによくまわります‼️ ありがとうございました‼️🙏🙏‼️

Another beautiful video, my dear friend. Lovely. Thank you so much.

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

How very kind to watch while you are busy and meet amazing wildlife. Thank you very much. Good luck and success in your enterprises.

[@minz_channel]

Lovely clip, so cute ❤,, 😍

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Thank you for your kind words. This video was showing the importance of reedbeds and water to preserve the lives of many birds. Japan has no wilderness protection for habitats. Thank you again and very best wishes.🙏🙏😊😊

[@Fortheloveofbirds2020]

This is so beautiful! The place is wonderful bird habitat!

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Hello 👋 ! I do apologize for answering late : I only discovered now that I did no answer. It was a great place unfortunately unprotected but I hope it will remain there for all the birdwatchers to discover unusual biotopes. Thank you indeed for writing and for your videos. Very best wishes for your birding and wellbeing.🙏🙏😊😊‼️

[@keenwildlifephotographer]

とてもたくさんの美しい鳥、とても素敵なビデオ、共有してくれてありがとう。良い週末をお過ごしください。

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Hello! Thank you so very much for your kind words. I regret that because of the wind and passing cars it was impossible to leave the natural sound like you do ( very well! Your microphone is better than mine for sure). I wish you a pleasant weekend and if possible good weather ! Thank you again.

[@Lanius_rius]

Very nice video❤❤❤ Have a good weekend ‼️

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Thank you! You too! Best wishes in birding and everything !

[@MrArgoma]

Hermosa naturaleza. Bellamente capturada 🤗👍.

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Ola! Muchas gracias!🙏🙏‼️Thank you very much for your kindness. I know you record natural sound but you do very good videos too. Very best wishes and luck!🍀🍀‼️

[@temp24Lno5]

Thank you, Patricia, for a lovely video. I loved seeing how the birds, so effortlessly ride the wave. I find it very cool and of course the trees at dusk are beautiful. Joan

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

It is I who thank you for your very kind words. The atmosphere of the reedbeds with birds fleeing the wind and at dusk when it was a bit calmer the birds of prey just appearing gave to that ( rather far away) place a very special atmosphere. The sunset was really unexpectedly beautiful. I hope spring will be on its way in a month about but if you have the time to film your wonderful birds I would be grateful ! Very best wishes. 👋👋🙏🙏😊😊🍀🍀🕊️🕊️‼️

[@wildhomevideos]

Areas like that should be protected. It is amazing how much life exists on a relatively small area. Great job of spreading the message👍

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Thank you for so just a comment ! Yes indeed. Any people with common sense would protect such habitats. I’m afraid to say that from the nature conservation point of view it’s harder and harder. Even Ramsar sites are not protected well. And we don’t have many. Reedbeds are one of the richest habitats that exist and they are also useful to fix part of metal pollution into the soil preventing it to seep elsewhere. I only hope it won’t get worse. Thank you very much for your kind words. Very good luck for your beautiful orchids and so amazing birds.

こんにちは🥹🥰👀感動的なカモたちですね 色々な種類がいて楽しいですね🥰🥰🥰 なかなか見ることのできない映像をありがとうございます

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

こんばんは！ご視聴いただいてありがとうございました😊😊‼️私も茨城と千葉はとても遠いから初めてでした．その上風はものすごく強くて鴨はアシの元に避難していました．それでも雰囲気は東京か神奈川ととても違いますからその雰囲気を考えて動画を作りました。親切なコメントはありがたいです。寒いから気をつけてくださいね。

[@stefangoldensteinwildlife9929]

Hey. tolle Vielfalt an Vögeln. Sehr schönes Video. Grüße Stefan

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Hello 👋 ! Thank you for watching ! I hope you are well and nature around you too. Thank you for your kind words . Spring will come in a few weeks and winter birds will leave. Let’s hope summer birds will be there. Good luck with everything ! 🍀🍀🙏🙏👋👋😊😊‼️

[@bunkowmoviebirds476]

Hello Friend. Great observations👍 Great variety of birds. I saw a sparrow too😄 Beautifully already the trees are blooming at your place and the sunset was gorgeous👌 Very beautiful video👏 Thank you and Best Regards!

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

Hello and thank you for your very kind words. Yes the apricot tree blooms even though it is no 10 degrees Celsius. It’s weird..yes there were many sparrows which are in decline over here. Loss of habitats. Still some parts are preserved which is a good thing. Let’s hope it will last. I must say a word of thanks for all your great videos that show fantastic birds. Thank you indeed. Very best wishes.

[@mura3338]

野鳥を見る機会はなかなかないので素敵な動画をありがとうございました😊 🔔させていただいたのでまたお邪魔させてください🤗

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

こんにちは‼️ご視聴いただきありがとうございました😊😊．野鳥を見れませんのは残念ですけどある時に出来ると祈ります。茨城県と千葉県は特に野鳥に良いけど 行くのは長い時間運転し ないといけません。逆に川辺へ行くと鳥をみれます。チャンスはあれば。。。 ありがとうございました😊👋🍀‼️

[@johnluk]

Thank you Patricia, for a really beautiful and artistically composed video. I thought I saw a lot of ducks in Greylake but they are nothing compared to the numbers you have there and such variety, including gorgeous views of Baikal and Falcated ducks which are such exotic birds to us. Shrike, Osprey, Stilt, Black-Necked Grebe and many more rarities. I know people rave about birding in Costa Rica but you should be employed by the Japanese tourist board for promoting birding in Japan! Wonderful! Hope you're having a successful and productive weekend!

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

It is I who thank you. Honestly. I am much more envious of your shelducks and seashore birds that we don’t get not to mention all the species up north like in the Farne islands or down Ireland or everywhere in the UK! ( guillemots, kittiwakes, puffins! ) I long to see a great black backed gull and your familiar birds do know how to sing! The place I went East of Tokyo is extremely flat and windy but it still retains swamps fed with brackish water. Indeed there are more birds there and very good at playing hide and seek. The harriers are a kind of mystical goal for all Japanese birders and they gather at dusk waiting quietly for the silent birds to hunt. For some reasons the stilts come in the winter and generally to the lotus fields where they can feed on small fish and sometimes worms. The Japanese eat the lotus roots after the blossoming of the huge flowers. And they keep the precious water in the fields all year round. This time there was an event which was impossible to film as the ducks kept in the middle of the large swamp: 10 000 Baikal teals were there together with the other ducks and birders were doing their best to find sheltered spots where they could film them. Still it was frustrating to see this mass of ducks keeping away from all cameras ! As for myself I keep my eyes open for each new video you make. I really liked the UK and birdwatching there at a time when it was mostly binoculars and telescopes and twitching lists. I hope you are feeling better and that spring is bringing you warbling songs from each clump of trees 🌳 ! Very good luck and my best wishes for the weather to be clement. Thank you again.😊😊🙏🙏‼️

[@johnluk]

I was frustrated in my attempt to see the ONE Baikal in Britain here in Somerset and I’m still very envious of your 10,000 but I get your point about the diversity of birds in the U.K. However from what I’ve seen, thanks to your excellent videos, you have just as many or more species there and what would be rarities here, Ospreys for example, occurring regularly over in Japan. Keep up the good work! Best wishes for the weekend. 😊🍀🍀John.

こんばんは。沢山のカモの数は圧巻でした。葦原＆印旛沼素晴らしい撮影可愛いスズメ、数多いいムクドリ、個性的ミコアイサ、葦の中のホオジロ、カワラヒワ、面白い泳ぎと歩きのセイタカシ、猛禽類ノスリ、ミサゴ低空飛行ハイイロチュウヒ♀全て素晴らしい撮影でした。色々心配頂きながら大変遅くなってお詫び申し上げます。楽しい週末をお過ごしください。新しい週の素晴らしいスタート 楽しみにしてます！！💞💞💞🙇‍♂🙏

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

こんばんは‼️今だけ見つけたコメント本当にありがとうございました．細かく見ていただいてありがたいです。天気はよかったけど風は大変でした．鴨は見えないところに隠れてよく探しました．霞ヶ浦はまだ葦原はあってそこはカメラマンは待っていました。チュウヒとミサゴは夕暮れに出てきました。セイタカシギは茨城県の蓮根畑に時々来ます：偶然でしたけどとても嬉しかった：神奈川とかにはまったく見えない野鳥です．問題は遠くて道は非常に長いです。今は再び東京の川辺に探鳥します．雨は止んだら☔ね‼️Mr Takemoto の次の動画を楽しみにします‼️👋👋😊😊‼️

[@gutumoto3]

こんばんは。今回もたくさんの野鳥を見せていただき興味津々です。 水鳥やワシタカ類などよくぞ撮りこなしておられると感心します。 私は遠くに撮影に出かけられないのでたいへんありがたいです。👍😊🐦🦆🦢🦅🍀🙋‍♂

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

こんばんは‼️ご視聴いただいてありがとうございました😊😊。本当は 遠くへ行くことは少ないです。だいたい電車に乗って川へ行きます。時々違った景色を見たくなります。葦原は特に詩的です．冬の乾燥したアシと水鳥の茨城県か千葉県へ行くのは初めてでした。非常に遠くて大変な時間がかかります。　明日は普通の境川へまた行きます。Mr Tomotugu は高尾へ行ってたくさんを見られます。境川よりたくさんの花や小さな命はいます確かに‼️いつも撮影の才能を喜んでみます．次の動画をお楽しみにしています。😊😊🕊️🕊️🌸🌸👋👋‼️

From parrots to whistling ducks and so so many pretty birds. Not forgetting the kookaburra of course! Thank you for dropping by as it gives me the opportunity to watch Australian birds! Best wishes for the rest of the week and for your incoming winter.🙏🙏🍀🍀😊😊‼️

いいですね～　特にセイタカシギは、まだ撮ったことがないので、羨ましいです。いつも季節感のある自然描写があり、英文でグローバルな視点で素敵ですね。

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

こんにちは！ご視聴いただいただいてありがとうございました😊😊！日本では私もセイタカシギは初めてでした。昔三重県で見たけど撮った事はなかった．冬鳥と思いますけど時により春も見える見たい。いつもすごい野鳥を撮っているので今度も幸運を祈ります‼️毎回ありがとうございました😊😊‼️🍀🍀👋👋‼️

[@nonbiriyasan]

ミコアイサにスズガモ、ホオジロにトモエガモ、京都ではほとんど見ることのない貴重な鳥です。映像有難うございます。風邪ひかないよう、頑張ってください。

[@Nature_Watching_Japan]

ご視聴いただいてありがとうございました😊😊‼️親切な言葉本当にありがとうございます‼️そちへ行って初めてでしたけどちょうど春一番でした。鴨はじっとしていませんでした．ことりさんは隠れていました．経験でした．葦原は確かに特別なところですけど行くためにものすごく長いですね。今寒いです:気をつけましょう‼️👋👋🙏🙏😊😊

I checked your channel and subscribed as I really loved going to Africa and you show beautiful nature. I am glad you also show trees like baobab as when I went to Tanzania I couldn’t find any young trees. Thank you.

[@DailyShelter]

@@Nature_Watching_Japan I find your kind words very encouraging. Thank you for visiting the Channel. I truly appreciate it!

Hello 👋 ! Thank you so very much for everything ! I am so glad you like birds. I know there is a real lack of rain in Spain and I wonder what happened to the lovely birds I saw there many years ago. Spanish birds were great great. Thanking you again I wish you an excellent week and luck 🍀 of course.🙏🙏😊😊‼️
