1月4日、「お正月ビッグデイ」に参加しました。今年は開催期間が1月7日まで延び、 これまで行けなかった佐賀市の干潟や干拓地を中心に巡ることができました。 干潟ではズグロカモメが2000〜3000羽と大群で見られ、キクイタダキの可愛い群れにも出会えました。 干拓地ではタゲリが畑を歩き回り、満潮で陸に上がったクロツラヘラサギの群れも観察。 池では約1000羽のトモエガモと、なぜか1羽だけ混じるオオハクチョウが印象的でした。 最後に訪れた川沿いの公園では、ツグミの大群や混群に癒やされ、事前情報なしでニシオジロビタキに遭遇。 大満足の締めくくりとなりました。 一方で今冬は全体的に冬鳥が少なく、野鳥を通して佐賀の自然環境の変化を考えさせられる一日でもありました。
