野鳥は餌を探し求めてる

　今日は旧暦で１０月2日ですから、月が出るのは夕方で西の空で微かにです。明後日ごろから三日月のように、日本では右側が光る上弦の月が出ます。南半球では左側が光ります。

　昨日は木枯らし１号が吹き、小学生の下校を見守ってるとき寒くて、季節が冬になったことが分かりました。寒い所にずっといたためでしょう。今朝になってから気管の調子が変です。

　ところで、写真のように庭には柿が生ってますが、私は未だ一つも捥いでません。一方、野鳥は赤くなった柿が美味しいことを知っていて順々に啄んでます。四季を通じてよい声で鳴く野鳥なので、人間の私がすべて捥いでは申し訳なく、うまく共存共生を図ります。

　同様に、今年は、全国で熊が多く出没し、例年になく怪我人が出ているとニュースが伝えてます。原因はおそらく気候変動であり、結果的にブナの実が少ないことや、イノシシが増え山岳地帯に熊の餌が減少してるとも考えられます。対策が難しいですが、子熊まで銃で撃つのは可哀そう過ぎます。上手く捕らえて自然に返したいです。

Dear my friends abroad

　Today is October 2nd according to the lunar calendar, so the moon will rise faintly in the western sky in the evening. From around the day after tomorrow, it will appear a crescent moon that shines on the right side in Japan, as a waxing moon. In the southern hemisphere, the left side lights up.

　Yesterday, Kogarashi No. 1 that means the first cold winter wind blew from the Asian continent, and when I was watching the elementary school students leave school, it was cold, and I realized that it became real winter. Probably because I was in a cold place for so long. My trachea has been weird since this morning. Probably I am suffering from bronchitis.

　By the way, as you can see in the photo, there are persimmons growing in the garden, but I haven't cut any of them yet. On the other hand, wild birds know that red persimmons are delicious, so they pick them one by one everyday. They are wild birds that sing loudly throughout the year, so I would be sorry if I, as a human, were to harvest them all away, so I will try to coexist with wild birds.

　Similarly, this year, the news reports that there are many bears appearing all over the country, and more people are being injured than usual. The cause is probably climate change I guess, resulting in fewer beech nuts and wild boars have increased. As the result, the food for bears is reducing in mountainous areas. It's difficult for human to take countermeasures, but shooting a bear cub by a gun is just too pitiful. I hope to successfully capture them and return them to nature in mountainous areas.
