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.

Birdwatching in Tama River (January 12, 2023)

 My 5th visit to see the Bufflehead.  Although I visited in a weekday, there were still around 40 birders.
