The Wagtail's Song Echoes Through Autumn Skies

As the days of "Sekirei Naku" unfold, the clear, ringing call of the wagtail becomes a familiar part of early autumn. The bird's high-pitched voice cuts through the crisp air, blending perfectly with the serene atmosphere. The wagtail, known for its long tail and graceful appearance, flies effortlessly across the sky, reminding us of the fresh beginnings that autumn brings.

秋空に響くセキレイの鳴き声

「鶺鴒鳴」の時期が進むにつれ、セキレイの澄んだ鳴き声が秋の風景に溶け込みます。その高く響く声は、澄み渡った秋の空気を切り裂き、静かな秋の雰囲気に見事に調和しています。長い尾と優雅な姿が特徴のセキレイは、秋の空を爽やかに飛び交い、秋の始まりを私たちに感じさせます。

The Wagtail: A Symbol of Fresh Beginnings

Wagtails are small, yet they capture attention with their elegance. Their characteristic behavior of bobbing their tail up and down while walking on the ground is quite endearing. This gesture, combined with their sharp calls, gives them a presence that stands out in the autumn landscape. The bird is often seen around water, darting by rivers or lakes, adding to the freshness of the early autumn scene.

セキレイ:新たな始まりの象徴

セキレイは小柄ながら、その優雅な姿で人々の目を引きます。歩く際に尾を上下に揺らしながら地面を叩くように歩くその特徴的な動きは愛らしく、その動作と鋭い鳴き声が相まって、秋の風景の中で際立つ存在となります。彼らは水辺を好み、川や池のほとりを飛び交う姿は、秋の初めの爽やかさをより一層引き立てます。

A Companion in Both Rural and Urban Areas

In Japan, wagtails are not only found in the countryside but also in urban areas, where they nest under eaves or in the nooks of homes. Their presence is a reminder of nature’s beauty, even in the midst of daily life. For many, hearing the wagtail’s call and observing its graceful movements symbolize a deep connection to the changing seasons, especially as autumn begins.

田舎でも都会でも親しまれるセキレイ

日本では、セキレイは田舎だけでなく都会でも見ることができ、家の軒下や隙間に巣を作ることもあります。彼らの存在は、日常生活の中で自然の美しさを思い起こさせてくれます。多くの人にとって、セキレイの鳴き声や優雅な動きは、特に秋の始まりを感じさせる季節の移り変わりを象徴しています。
