Kannon-ji.It isn’t easy to go there by train because it is far from the station. We recommend going there by car. There is no place for good sightseeing. There are just big factories of KIOXIA.

三重県垂坂山観音寺
ビンズイ
Olive-backed Pipit.This bird was on the tree so far from us, so we thought that it was Meadow Bunting at first.
ツマグロヒョウモン
Indian Fritillary.They have a very different wing pattern between the male and female.
モズ
Bull-headed shrike.We can hear their voice in autumn in Japan, but can’t hear it in winter.

キセキレイ
Grey Wagtail. This bird has a beautiful yellow body in Wagtails. We often see other wagtails, but this bird is a little more rare.
カワラヒワ
Oriental Greenfinch.We think that the yellow color of this bird’s body is more beautiful in winter than in summer.
ビンズイ
Olive-backed Pipit.We may or may not see this bird once a year and have never heard its voice.
アオゲラ
Japanese Green Woodpecker.This bird lives only in Japan. This bird has a distinctive voice, so we know that it is near us. But we can’t take pictures of it easily.

京都府真如堂
Shin-nyo do.This temple has a long history. The official name of it is Shinshōgokuraku-ji.
ハシビロガモ
Northern shoveler.In Japan they come in winter. Their bills are very unique, so we can distinguish this species.
ムクドリ
White-cheeked Starling.They gather at power lines or street trees near stations that are bright even at night. That has become a problem in many parts of Japan./p>
ノスリ
Eastern Buzzard.It is a normal buzzard in Japan, but we are surprised at the buzzard near a tree. Because we have never seen it on our normal way of taking a walk.

ウラナミシジミ?
This butterfly has very different looks when it opens and closes its wing.
キタキチョウ?
The name of this butterfly is perhaps the Common Grass Yellow.Recently, We think if we want to know the name of insects, we need to take pictures of them and look them up on the Internet.
ゴンズイ?
Euscaphis japonica.We can easily notice this plant because of the very beautiful red fruits and black seeds.
ヤマトシジミ?
This butterfly is perhaps the Pale Grass Blue. We can’t know the exact name of this butterfly because there are butterflies with very similar looks.
オオタカ?
We think that this bird is perhaps the Northern Goshawk.We were taking a walk through our usual way near our house. When we suddenly looked up at the sky, a bird was flying around. “That’s a raptor!” We hurried up to take a picture, but after several seconds the bird flew away.
