Local summer event,地元の夏のイベント

In August of this year, the temperature will continue to be over 30 degrees, so I don't feel like going outside. Moreover, it takes heat stroke to carry a dozen kilograms of photography equipment to shoot wild birds. So I couldn't update my blog.
Fortunately, an annual summer festival was held near my home.
Abiko-city, where I have been living for more than 60 years, Chiba prefecture, located about 45 minutes from Tokyo station by train, consists of 59 resident area.
This event called Tennodaifureaimaturi has held every in August is mainly for children supported by six resident association joint and by donations from firms based in the areas.
This time was held on August 24 from 13:00 to 20:15 with the road temporarily closed.
  Hoshino, greetings from Mayor of Abiko 👇
Senator Sakurada, Abiko City is part of Senator Sakurada's constituency.
And Sakurada often makes mistakes in speech, and make slips of the tongue. So his name is well known nationwide.👇
List of local company donations
mikoshi (Japanese神輿) is a sacred religious palanquin (also translated as a portable Shinto shrine). Shinto followers believe that it serves as the vehicle to transport a deity in Japan while moving between the main shrine and temporary shrine during a festival or when moving to a new shrine. Often, the mikoshi resembles a miniature building, with pillars, walls, a roof, a verandaand a railing. (to cite this page from Wikipedia/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoshi) 👇

Needless to say, the fireworks are the most popular night event across Japan.
Speaking of beautiful fireworks, it is said that Nagaoka fireworks, Niigata Prefecture are the most famous in Japan.

8月上旬には、首都都の北東約40キロにある茨城県取手市の利根川沿いで、毎年花火大会が開催されます。家から花火大会が行われる場所に近いので、毎年見ています。
2本の動画を347秒と440秒、1時間動画の一部のみアップロードしました。
言うまでもなく、花火は日本で最も人気のある夜のイベントです。
美しい花火といえば、新潟県の長岡花火が日本で最も有名だと言われています。

Common kingfisher,カワセミ

I realized that I had installed the 4th and 5th topics in the previous upload, so this is the last of this series.
Juvenile: Independent
  It is said to be 25% that the juveniles independent from parents rate at which left from parents survives until the breeding       season of the following year. Around 2006, when I started taking pictures of kingfishers, There was a lot of small fish to be     most of the food of the kingfisher in a nearby marsh and a small-and-medium-sized river. However, in recent years, small fish have disappeared from my home area, and black bass, bluegill, and Graceful catfish have increased dramatically. The small fish that I say here is stone moroko, Gnathopogon elongates, freshwater Bleeker, Weather fish and so on. As such, it may be difficult to take pictures of kingfishers in the local area in the near future.
前回のアップロードで4番目と5番目のトピックをインストールしたことに気づいたので、これはこのシリーズの最後です。
若鳥:独り立ち(独立)
両親から独立した幼鳥が翌年の繁殖期まで生存するのは25%と言われています。
私がカワセミの写真を撮り始めた2006年頃は、カワセミの餌の主力となる小魚が近くの沼、小河川に沢山いました。
ところが、近年、この地域から小魚は消えブラックバス、ブルーギル、アメリカナマズが激増しました。私がここで言う小魚とはモツゴ、タモロコ、タナゴ、ドジョウ等のです。
このようなことから、近い将来にはこの地域でカワセミの写真を撮るのは難しくなるかもしれません。
