719.　A beni-sijimi

Harujion flowers and a beni-sijimi.

At a usual bicycle path.



Slender kamikiri-musi are also perched.

Though I tried to find out its right name, it is still unknown.

718.　Kiji



It looks the kiji's population has been rising year by year, probably becasuse of the increasing abandoned rice paddies.

At this time of year, its high-pitched cry is heard here and there.

Though female is rarely seen, today I happened to spot a pair of the bird.

717. A kuma-bati

Fuji flowers and a kuma-bati. At a nearby square.

Kuma-bati do like fuji flowers.

Different from the "maru-hana" of previous one, there is no hair from its back to the tail.

---

716. A maru-hana-bati

A large bee with big buzzing came to a doudan-tutuji at my place.

From its look and size, I first thought it was a kuma-bati. But its back is fluffy from head to tail. So this is to be a maru-hana-bati.

715.　Sunday, fine, temp. over 20deg C



Inba marsh. In front of the usual A boat.

Good weather has brought many bass-fishing boats to this place.
