Wild birds that are difficult to recognize species

 Wild birds that are difficult to recognize species

Lesser Cuckoo, Common cuckoo, and Himalayan Cuckoo;

These three species migrate to Japan as summer birds around May and breeds.These three species of wild birds are very similar in feather color and their arrangement, and in particular, it is not possible to instantly distinguish between Himalayan Cuckoo and Lesser Cuckoo.In my case, it is especially difficult to identify the lesser cuckoo.

P.S.

The heat of summer is still continuing here.The weather forecast says today’s temperature around Tokyo will be reached at 35° centigrade.It’s crazy !, Even though it is the beginning of autumn in Japan.

The ever-increasing number of people infected with COVID-19 in Japan.

The Olympic games which were conducted close to the highest temperature ever in Tokyo, as soon as it was over, the long rainy days began. According to the weather forecast,

rainy days seem to continue to about ten days. 

Due to this heavy rain, it has occurred many floods in the west Japan area.

I'm fed up with this weather. In Addition, the significant increase in COVID-19-infected persons！

Today, August 13, the number of people infected with COVID-19 exceeded 20,000. (Over 5,000 people in Tokyo)
