Mainly Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) . They are tame because they are fed by humans. So when they find humans, they come closer.


Several Golden-eyes (Bucephala clangula) are usually seen in winter.


Female Goden-eye.
Additionally, on the board at the back of Golden-eye is written in Kanji, means "NO fishing".
