身近な四季の記録。 Record of the familiar four seasons. Tokyo, Japan (I moved from Hokkaido to Tokyo in April 2025.) https://twitter.com/kunne_urara/ https://taittsuu.com/users/soraneko https://cf842258.cloudfree.jp

セミの幼虫が羽化する場所を求めて玄関前のコンクリートの階段(3階)を彷徨っていたので、部屋に入れて椅子の背もたれで羽化するのを観察していた。 A cicada nymph was wandering around the concrete steps on the third floor in front of my entrance, looking for a place to emerge, so I brought it inside and watched it molt on the back of a chair.👀 #insects Taken in Tokyo, Japan

茂みの中からニュッと出てきたゴイサギの幼鳥 A juvenile Black‑crowned Night Heron that slowly emerged from the thicket.🪶 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

花火が上がる前に撮った荒川堤防からの夕陽。ちょうど太陽が沈む位置にあった山はたぶん秩父の二子山。 The sunset from the Arakawa embankment before the fireworks. The mountain where the sun was sinking was probably Mt. Futago‑yama in Chichibu.🎴 Taken in Tokyo, Japan

慌ただしい一週間に一息ついて花火見学。前にササゴイを撮った公園のすぐ近くなので鳥たちもびっくりしてるかも。動画は花火大会のラスト1分。 After a hectic week, I took a breather at a fireworks festival near the park where I once photographed a striated heron. The birds were probably startled too. The video shows the final minute.🎆 Taken in Tokyo, Japan

先日のアマサギもそうだけど、このササゴイも北海道出身者にはめずらしい鳥! Just like the Cattle Egret I saw the other day, the Striated Heron is another species unfamiliar to those of us from Hokkaido.😶 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

週末に川沿いを歩いていたら出会ったカルガモの親子たち。様々な成鳥具合の雛がいた。 The spot-billed duck families I came across while walking along the river over the weekend, with ducklings at various stages of growth.🦆🐣🐤 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

久しぶりに行ったら親と共に飛んでいる幼鳥が2羽いたので、少なくとも2羽は無事に成長したよう。幼鳥は撮れなかったので写真は親鳥。 On a return visit, I saw two Little Ringed Plover juveniles flying with the parents, so at least two seem to have grown up safely. I couldn’t photograph the young birds, so this photo is of the adult.😊 #Birds Taken in Saitama, Japan

2週間ぶりのコチドリの雛。前回は3羽見たが今回確認できたのは1羽だけ。相変わらずふわっふわだけど、少しだけコチドリらしい姿になっていた。 A Little Ringed Plover chick I hadn’t seen in two weeks. Only one this time, though there were three before. Still fluffy, but looking just a little more like a Little Ringed Plover now. #Birds Taken in Saitama, Japan

光沢を見せびらかすように陽射しの強い日ほど活発に活動するタマムシ。日本で最も美しい虫のひとつだけど、これも北海道では見ないんだよね。 Jewel beetles (Chrysochroa fulgidissima) get especially active on strong sunny days, showing off their shine. They’re one of Japan’s most beautiful insects, but you don’t see them in Hokkaido.💎 #insects Taken in Tokyo, Japan

暑いのでずっと口をあけっぱなしだったヒヨドリ A Brown‑eared Bulbul that kept its mouth open the whole time because of the heat.🥵 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

梅雨明けして一気に暑くなったので、水の上をぷかぷかしている涼しそうな水鳥特集。…水鳥? Since the rainy season has ended and the heat has suddenly kicked in, here’s a feature on cool‑looking waterfowl bobbing on the water… waterfowl?🤔 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

トモエソウの花。花弁が扇風機の羽のように捻じれている。なんか息を吹きかけたらクルクル回りそう。 A great St. John’s wort (Hypericum ascyron) whose petals twist like fan blades, looking as if they might whirl if you blew on them.🌀 #flowers Taken in Tokyo, Japan

本格的な夏を迎え嘴の根元が黄色いスズメが増えてきたが、この時期まだ子育て中だったこの2羽の嘴は黒いままだった。 With the full summer now here, the number of sparrows with yellow at the base of their beaks has been increasing, but the beaks of these two, who were still raising their young even at this point, remained black. #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

換毛期のようで尻尾のないスズメ。黒かった嘴の基部も黄色に。この嘴の色の変化と換毛には何か関係があるのかな。 A sparrow that has entered its molting season and lost its tail. The base of its beak, once black, has turned yellow as well. I wonder if this beak‑color change at this time of year has something to do with molting.🤔 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

薄暗い公園の林床にたくさん咲いているヤブミョウガ。こちらではこの時期よく見かけるが、これも北海道では見なかった花だな。 Yabumyōga (Pollia japonica) blooming in abundance on the shaded forest floor in the park. It’s a flower you often see around this time of year here, but I don’t think I ever saw this one in Hokkaido, either.🌼 #flowers Taken in Tokyo, Japan

東京のアジサイの季節はもうほぼ終わり。これはまだ比較的奇麗に咲いていた花。 Hydrangea season in Tokyo is already entering its final phase. This bloom was still relatively beautiful. #flowers Taken in Tokyo, Japan

しばらく目を離した隙にインコはいなくなり、今はスズメが巣材を咥えて出入りするように。インコが本当に営巣していたのかは結局謎のまま… When I looked away for a while, the parakeet was gone, and a sparrow had started coming and going with nesting material in its beak. Whether the parakeet had really been nesting there remains a mystery…🤔 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

その後も相変わらず鉄パイプの穴から出入りしているワカケホンセイインコだけど、実際巣を作っているのかどうかは不明。確かめようもないしね! The Rose‑ringed Parakeet is still going in and out of that hole in the metal pipe just like before, but I honestly have no idea if there’s really a nest in there. Not like I can check anyway!😅 #Birds Taken in Tokyo, Japan

全くそのとおりで割と常備しているのだけど、長くやってると3年くらいのサイクルで着実に内容量が減っていくのを実感できてしまうのが欠点。…まぁ減るついでに小分けパックになったのは利便性あがってよかったけど!

ココナッツサブレって賞味期限がMAXで一年弱ほどあり、消費期限ならもっと長く見込めるので防災備蓄食のおやつ枠にけっこう向いてるお菓子なのよね。 味落ちを許容すれば1~2年に1度の入れ替えで済む
