The first batch of autumn migratory birds has arrived. The name of the bird is Siberian stonechat. It's already a grave winter feather color.
In Japan, as a summer bird, it migrates from central Honshu to the north and breeds there. In central Honshu and southwards, it can be seen during spring and autumn migration.( Cited from Wikipedia described in Japanese)
When it comes mid-September, as has been done in the past,
the
drainage channel rubber weir for agriculture makes it goes down after the rice
harvest. This September also was so.
Then, many
herons that couldn't find this sight came to this drainage channel to take
small fish for food.
However, as
the water in the channel is so turbidity, the herons can not see any fish.
As a
result, they were in leaving.
The targets I have been focused on are hunting Goshawk that aim at herons.

This flower, called "higanbana" in Japanese,has begun to bloom.
The word higan means "the other shore,"or, in Buddhism, nirvana. During higan, the spirits of ancestors are recalled, Buddhist rites carried out and family graves visited.
The periods: Two periods of seven days with the middle day falling on the spring or autumn equinox. Higanbana will begin to bloom about on the autumn equinox.
By the way, even though we're into Mid-September, the temperature still goes up over thirty degrees centigrade in the afternoon. I think that's why any migratory birds do not come flying still here.
When it
comes to September and March, I remember this saying in Japanese.
Atsusa mo
samusamo higannmade.
This means in English, Neither summer heat nor winter cold goes beyond the equinox week.
Some butterfly dragonflies designated as least concern by the IUCN Red List category that appears every summer in the big water lily pond of a restaurant near my house appeared again this year.
According to Wikipedia:Rhyothemis fuliginosa, also known as the butterfly dragonfly or the butterfly flutterer, is found throughout East Asia, being known to have been spotted in China, Japan, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula. It has been known to extend its range further south into Vietnam as well.
Is Japan becoming in the tropical zone?
Fireworks
are a summer event in this country.
However,
it has not been almost held for the past three years due to the prevention of
Covit-19 infection.
As the
ninth wave of COVID‑19 hits the country
this year, fireworks are starting to take place everywhere. Our city postponed
again the event, but the neighboring city of Toride held it on August 14th.
By the
way, I love the lingering after the fireworks are launched.
I think
it's only about 1/50 seconds.. This local
fireworks movie is the beginning of the fireworks and the final only.
Sweats,
sweats, if when you got outdoor.
I can't help believing in" Global warming" on this earth. Why so hot every day? It's over 34 degrees centigrade every day here.
These flowers that were in full bloom were found close to my residence, very similar to cluster amaryllis that will bloom about one month after.
It's hot every day and I'm sick of it.
Lycoris squamigera, the resurrection lily or surprise lily, is a plant in the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. It is also sometimes referred to as naked ladies (a name used for several other plants). It is believed to have originated in Japan or China. It is now cultivated as ornamental in many places and naturalized in Korea. （Cited from Wikipedia）
