三重県の海岸にて、コクガン。

西日本ではあまり見られないコクガンですが、伊勢湾には毎冬少数が飛来します。

成鳥。

Adult Brant Goose in Mie.

It is a pretty rare bird in southwestern Japan, but Mie is the place where we can see some of them every winter.



全体的に白い羽縁が目立つ、第一回冬羽。

1st winter bird that has obvious white edges on some feathers.



この日は20羽の群れを観察できました。

I saw a flock of 20 birds this time.

I think this flock was a little bit larger than usual.
