In the morning I am walking to the Asagaya station. Suddenly in front of me, a big flower falls onto the road. I check the time on the mobile phone to confirm I have enough time to take pictures.

After a auction of curiosity and secondhand dealers, an old battery is left on the passage under the railroad. (They use a building under the elevated railroad ) It must be from a second-hand electronic good. The twenty years has already passed. The man who knocks it down finds a too much old battery to throw it away on the road.
Whenever I find things like this which has an old expression, I can not stop to wonder what I did at those time.
What did I do on the July of 1986? Where was I?
The 1986 is the year when I bought my first SLR-camera, the Minolta alpha 9000.
So that summer I was very happy to taking pictures with walking around Tokyo day by day.

As for gray starling, it is not so difficult to explain about it to a foreigner. Many kind of starling are town dwellers in Europe and U.S.A. So they easily imagine the shape and habits of the bird.

In the Takahara Park, small children and their teachers play a Kagome-kagome.
Around it(who is sitting and shutting it's eyes), the kids and teachers walking around with singing a song of Kagome-kagome. It must listen the voices to identify who is who around it. At the end of the song, rounding people stops. Then it should name who stands back of it. If the answer is exact, it stands up to join the rounding people and the one who is back the it turns a new it to start the new singing and turning around. If it fails to answer, it must keep being it and a new singing and turning would begin.
This is the game of the kids before elementary school. I did not go to the kindergarten. So I remember I played kagome-kagome with my neighbor children.
It was very difficult to identify the boy or girl who was there. But the children easily start laughing with joyfulness for watching it in confusion, I could manage to find who it was.

A bulbul is looking for crumbs which I throw for small birds.
In the town of Tokyo a bird watcher can easily find these birds:
sparrow (雀) , crow(カラス), pigeon（ハト）, bulbul（ヒヨドリ）, tit (四十雀), gray starling(ムクドリ), blue magpie(オナガ), dusky thrush（ツグミ), Japanese white eye(メジロ) , wagtail (セキレイ), bush warbler（ウグイス）. These eleven birds are the common birds which one can see in their garden and streets. In summer swallow would be into the list.
It is bulbul that is most difficutl to discribe of a japanese to a foreigner.
You can easily find there is no bulbul in the Webster's Dictionary of American English and Collins Dictionary and Thesaurus. I have failed to find a French word for Japanese Hi-yo-do-ri. In the Dorling Kindersley's POCKETS BIRDS, I found a kind of bulbuls. It is red-whiskered bulbul which does not like a Hiyodori-bulbul.
But this bulbul is the fourth popular bird in Tokyo.
