Common Kestrel,チョウゲンボウ

Common Kestrel comes to Japan as a winter bird and is divided into individuals that remain in the breeding area and individuals that move to the warmer areas.（Wikipedia sources described in Japanese Common Kestrel）

It is observed daily in this area from around October.

This is the first time that I observed common kestrel different in color of the feather.

I have been conducted a Web search about this type of Common Kestrel,but not found any name.

Oriental stork with GPS device, GPSを装着したコウノトリ

The Oriental storks were breeding in various parts of Japan at the end of the Edo Period (1603-1868), but in 1971, individuals inhabit Japan disappeared due to hunting, land development, water pollution, etc.

After that, a small number of stork inhabiting Eurasia continental occasionally came to fly to the Japanese archipelago.

In 1992, the Hyogo Prefectural Breeding Center started breeding and was released to wild thereafter, in addition, now breeding at the facility and release to wild are being carried out in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture and Echizen City, Fukui Prefecture.

The images of this stork installed here that I took the other day, named Yamato with GPS device, was the one released to wild from Noda-city's stork breeding facility ”Konotori-no Sato", Chiba Prefecture, in 2017.

At a Tokyo metropolitan park

As I had installed on this blog late October, Typhoon Hagibis, called Typhoon No.19 in Japan, had hit the place of stopover for migratory birds which close to my residence.

When the water recedes, a large amount of sludge is left behind,and roads,rice fields were covered mud deeply.

Even if migratory birds arrived there are no feeds can be found.

So It may that I am not able to find any migratory birds here for some time in the future.

I visited one of the well-known parks for wild birds photo in Tokyo metropolitan park in first time.

The result was tired remained only.
