Birdwatching in Notsuke (July 12-13, 2025)

 This summer, temperatures were high, and unlike the usual scene in early July, many flowers had already fallen. Birds were also less singing, and the voices of Black-browed Reed Warbler, Middendorff's Grasshopper Warbler, and Siberian Rubythroat, which can usually be heard everywhere, were sparse, and the Lanceolated Warbler was hardly heard at all.
