シジュウカラが巣立ったので巣箱改(すばこあらため)をした。

Cleaned up the nest box in our garden after little birds left.

 

Removed all the nesting material because it seems that tit birds prefer to build new nests rather than reuse old ones.

 

Freight train crossing as usual.

 

 

 

Regular observation of Shibakawa(芝川) river.

 

 

 

Stubborn mulberry.

 

And a ladybug on it.

 

Found mulberries ripen in another place in the park.

 

Snakeberries, not edible.

 

Oshima-Zakura(オオシマザクラ) cherries.

 

 

Potato flowers.

 

The scent of chamomile wafted through the fields.

 

These yellow flowers are not chamomile but shungiku chrysanthemum.

 

Color of Minuma-Daiyousui-Nishiberi(見沼代用水西縁) channel.

 

Ducks in rest.

 

Another day, done some PC work in my car while parked on the shore of Isanuma(伊佐沼) Pond. The environment was refreshing.
