Red spider lily,Higanbana(ヒガンバナ)

This is first installment of a two-part series of this article.

The Japanese name of this flower is called Higanbana or Manjusyage.

This flower name comes from the autumnal equinox.

Higanbana top four characters higan means equinox, last four bana means flowers.

That is, this flower seems to have been named the higanbana because it blooms at the time of the autumnal equinox.

The word higan(彼岸) meaning “the other shore,” or, in Buddhism,nirvana,and is a Buddhist holiday exclusively celebrated by Japanese sects during both the Spring and Autumnal Equinox. 

During higan the spirits of ancestors are recalled, Buddhist rites carry out and family visit their graves .

Siberian stonechat

Long-awaited a kind of migrating bird of early autumn, Siberian Stonechats was observed finally today.
I was relieved for the time being.

 It looks like this stonechat is scared of the wasp.

Where are the migratory birds？

As it has become to mid-September if it is the same as in the past migrant birds should be seen.

However, it cannot be seen especially Muscicapidae this year yet, except this eastern buzzard.

I have been thinking that what brings its cause must be high temperature during this summer.

A Northern goshawk juvenile ,オオタカ若鳥

A northern goshawk juvenile, her beak was tangling with something and she stared at me as if she wanted me to remove it.

She seemed to do not want to move from here, but the time when has passed thirty minutes, she fried away.

The heat of late summer has been continuing even in September, but yesterday I went to take wild bird photography after a long time.
