Hen harrier, Northern harrier、ハイイロチュウヒ

I will upload as a proof photo of a Hen harrier that came flying here one in October. According to BIRD FAN on the NET site, there is only one case came flying in October in Japan. 

On October 21st, I found a Hen Harrier flying at its unique low altitude in the usual countryside, It has lost sight of the target while I was pulling the camera out of the bag. So, when I was waiting for it to fly again on the 22nd of the next day, I found that it was flying about 200m above at around 9:40.It was the first time I took a picture of a hen harrier in this countryside on December 27, 2013.

This is the second installment of a two-part series on this topic.このシリーズ二回目です。

Overwintering number of Hen harrier to Japan is a few, therefore, a lot of photographers comes to at their overwintering destination to take these guys.

I have heard that even in the Kanto Plains, the largest plains of Japan, there are only two their overwintering places.

The other day, I went to take pictures to the overwintering destination of these guys, 50 km away from my house. It was the first time to see here that there was the group that came by minibus.

But, there was no satisfaction level because the object was not nearby.

In addition, speaking of the number of people who come to take wild bird photos, I remember that it is the Yodogawa riverbed of Osaka Prefecture where several Short-eared owls come every year. When it was aired on TV last year it reported that the number was 250 people.

日本へのハイイロチュウヒの越冬数は少ないので、この写真を撮りに多くのカメラマンが越冬地に来ます。

日本の最大の平野である関東平野でさえも、越冬地は2つしかないと聞いています。

先日、私の家から50キロ離れた、これらの越冬先に写真を撮りに行きました。

ここにマイクロバスで来ているのをはじめてみました。

しかし、目的物が近くに来ないので満足度はありませんでした。

ついでに、野鳥写真を撮りに来る人数と言えば、毎年数羽のコミミズクが飛来する大阪府の淀川河川敷であると記憶してます。昨年ＴＶで放映された時その人数は250人と報じてました。

Hen harrier or Northern harrier,ハイイロチュウヒ

This is the first installment of a two-part series on this topic.

According to the Wikipedia Japanese,

The breeding ground is in northern North America and the northern Eurasia continent, and winter is moved from the southern United States continent to the northern part of South America, the Northern Africa continent, and the Eurasian continent Central and overwinter. They live in Europe for their anniversary. It is local, and the number of individuals is scarce though it flies as a winter bird for the wintering in the Japan.

2回シリーズの1回目です。

ウイキペディアの日本文によれば、

繁殖地は北アメリカ大陸北部やユーラシア大陸北部で、冬季は北アメリカ大陸南部から南アメリカ大陸北部、アフリカ大陸北部、ユーラシア大陸中部に移動して越冬する。ヨーロッパでは周年生息する。

日本では越冬のために冬鳥として飛来するが、局地的であり、個体数はすくない。
