Wild Birds of Onuma Pond

Wild birds make their home in the pond and surrounding forest. Asian house martins can be observed flying high overhead, while great spotted woodpeckers are seen lower in the forest. Thickets around the pond are full of twittering of bush warblers; meadow buntings sing in the treetops. Sightings of the rare black woodpecker have also been reported in the area, while white-backed, Japanese green, and Japanese pygmy woodpeckers are all relatively common. Spot-billed ducks and grey herons occasionally visit the pond.
