Every spring, the English
name of "Reed Warblers", which migrate to Japan, was long thought to
be "Great Reed Warbler", but the other day I was researching an
academic paper on the warblers of Japan and learned that it was not “Great Reed
Warbler” but "Oriental Reed Warbler".
And, looking at the
classification of the Acrocephalidae,
the Japan name of the” Great Reed Warbler ”is Nishiooyoshikiri, also found that
the name of ”Oriental Reed Warbler” is the Ooyoshikiri in Japanese.
毎年春になると日本に渡ってくる”オオヨシキリ”の英名は長い間”Great Reed
Warbler”だと思っていたが、先日、日本のヨシキリに関する学術論文を調べていて、それは”Great
Reed Warbler”でなく”Oriental Reed Warbler”だとわかった。
そして、ヨシキリ科の分類を見て、Great Reed Warbler の日本名はニシオオヨシキリで、また、Oriental Reed Warblerの名がオオヨシキリだとわかった。
