A family of spot-billed ducks encountered by the pond in Zenpukuji Park in NISHIOGI early in the afternoon.
They seem to have started a walk after lunch.
A staff member of the Service Center in the Park commented,” These chicks led by the parent bird were hatched in the middle of May. Usually, 10-11 eggs are laid. The parent has been doing a good job in feeding, because as many as four chicks have survived. However, they can’t fly yet.”
昼食後のお散歩
ある昼下がり、西荻の善福寺公園・上の池の湖畔で出合ったカルガモ親子。
昼食後の散歩を始めたと見える。
同公園内にあるサービス・センターのスタッフの言「先頭の親鳥に引率されているこの子ガモは5月中旬に生まれました。通常10～11個の卵が産まれますが、4羽も生き残ったのは上出来です。ただ、まだ飛べません。」
