Eastern Buzzard.One illustrated book says it's a common bird, but we can’t often see this bird because we don’t go outside to watch birds everyday.

ノスリ
カシラダカ
Rustic Bunting.In Japan we can see this bird in winter. They sing very small voices, so we carefully search for them in dry grass. They are similar to the Meadow Bunting.
コハクチョウ
Tundra swan.We can see this bird in Shiga prefecture in winter. They fly between the Biwa lake and rice fields around the lake. We can take a lot of pictures of them, because they stay eating something in the same place.
スズメ
They are just sparrows. Of course, they aren’t rare, but they are cheerful, small, active, so we sometimes take pictures.

ホシムクドリ
European Starling.In Europe or America this bird is probably common, but in Japan we can seldom see this bird. They are gregarious with White-cheeked Starling.
アカゲラ
Great Spotted Woodpecker.We can often see this bird in Hokkaido, but this is the first time to see it in Shiga. They have a special high tone voice, so we are aware that they are nearby.
タゲリ
At first we paid attention to take pictures of them, but a few minutes later we realized they quickly moved their legs bit by bit. Did they chase earthworms underground? Could they feel the sound or vibration of worms? If they could, it would be amazing!

シメ
Hawfinch.In Japan, this bird is a winter bird. We can see it about once a season. When we took this picture, we were just talking to each other “ We want to see Hawfinch.”
タゲリ
Northern lapwing.They have a unique ornament on their head and sing like cats. They are very cautious, so it is difficult to get close to photograph them.

ノブドウ?
Porcelain Berry.We can normally see this plant in a bush in Japan. After we check several sites on the internet, we know that these beautiful blue or purple seeds are not normal. These seeds have beautiful colors because some kinds of insects live in them.

三重県垂坂山観音寺
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.
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.
