Birding in Tosayamada

The Monobe River flowing between the Kochi University of Technology and Tosayamada is a great place for spotting a diversity of birds. Shorebirds,herons, grebes, egrets, ducks, kingfishers, cormorants and morhen can all been seen along the shoreline.  Sitting along the river near below the dam is a hotspot for birds of all kinds.

Like vending machines, Eurasian Tree Sparrows are everywhere in the countryside. You will have no trouble spotting them on campus and on countryside roads or even on vending machines in the middle of nowhere!
