Japanese White-eye,メジロ

When it comes around the end of October in the area where I live, it is often can be seen a lot that Japanese white-eye eating ripe persimmon fruit in the farm and garden.

Several months have passed since I had surgery for valvular heart disease.

For photographing this scene, I used Canon 1 DX, 500 mm telescope, tripod and camera platform after a long time.

I felt strongly in my heart throughout the day.I have worried after this how-to carry about gears.

Carrying the gears of about 8 kilograms, on this body having the first grade physically handicapped, is a very burden for the heart.

Overflow levee,越流堤防

Typhoon Hagibis called Typhoon 19 in Japan hit my wild birds spot where I had been every day for watching and photographing, distance 700 meters from my house.

This spot called "Tanaka-chosei-ike" which is a large scale pond of river flood regulating and with 1,100 hectares. The name is pond, but it is actually almost rice field.

This is so-called in the national policy.

In Japan, there are many ponds by the rivers called regulating pond.

This Tanaka-chosei-ike has with the 440 meters length Tone River dike, about 3 meters lower than the normal dike, and when this rivers floods, the water overtopping this low dike into the flood regulating pond.

This is to prevent many towns from flood along the Tone River.
