キセキレイの飛来
母屋の10畳の間、8畳の間から見渡せる流れ内には、キセキレイが尾を上下に振りながら小刻みに歩く姿をよく見かけます。この場所を縄張りにしている様で、同じものがやってきます。餌探しや羽を整えている時、黄色い羽色がとてもきれいに映えています。

The Arrival of a Grey Wagtail
Inside the stream visible from the 10- and 8-tatami mat spaces in Murin-an’s main building, we often see a Grey Wagtail that flitters its tail up and down and walks around in short steps. We always see the same bird in this place; it seems to have made the area into its territory. When it looks for food or straightens its wings, its yellow plumage radiates beautifully.
