羽田沼の白鳥1

I visited Handanuma Wild Bird Park, a famous wintering spot for whooper swans.
I was surprised because many cars were parked there.

A cold wind was blowing across the lake, but many active birds were swimming.

They are very cute!
I, Kaori, felt very happy.

羽田沼の白鳥4

The flapping wings of the whooper swans are very powerful. It is a great sight.

"I wonder if those two swans are a pair?"
Watching them glide slowly over the water is very relaxing.


(Kaori’s Highlights)

If you want to see whooper swans flying, it is best to visit early in the morning.
During the peak season, many photographers stand in a line with their cameras.
If you are confident in your photography skills, you can try taking photos here.
I would like to visit again to see these cute swans.
