 2021 Great Cold Cherry Blossoms Japanese white-eye

 The early blooming "Okanzakura" on the Sumida River Terrace on the south side of Eitai Bridge West-filled is blooming.                     Okanzakura is considered a hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry, the height of the tree is about 5 to 10 meters, the canopy spreads greatly, and it is characterized by a pale red-white, half-open flower to the extent of the leaves.                    Since it spread throughout the country from the log in Angyo in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, it is also called "Angyo Kanzakura" and is counted as one of the leading cherry blossoms in early spring, prior to the general Sakura Yoshino cherry tree.          One of the pleasures is to see Japanese white-eye flying around the branches in search of nectar, rumbling at this time.        The Japanese name of Japanese white-eye (Mejiro) is derived from the white part (iling) around the eyes, but it is also described as "small one" because of its shape as embroidered with white feathers, smaller than sparrows, yellow-green on the top, and adorable gesture, along with Japanese bush warbler, is popular as a bird that tells spring.                                  Insects also prey during the breeding season, but they prefer flower nectar and juice, and seem to carry nectar entangled with a brush-shaped tongue to their mouth.   There is a habit of stopping side by side as if pushing on the tree, and it is said that it was the etymology of "a lot of things line up without gaps" and "things are concentrated".
