SASHIBA, Grey-faced Buzzard

SASHIBA migration season has come.

SASHIB, Grey-faced Buzzard, is an Asian bird of prey.

In this season, all of SASHIBA in Japan stop by around here before flying to South-east Asia, because of this region is on their migration path.

It is said that sometimes more than 10 thousands of SASHIBA fly sough together.

This morning, not so many SASHIBA were watched at the bird-watching party held at Osumi Regional Park because of not so good weather condition.

However we were able to see more than 70 SASHIBA were swirling upward. I could somehow take photos of SASHIBA sitting on a branch although the quality is bad.

The Osumi Regional Park is one of best place for watching SASHIBA migration.

The migration season continues for a while longer.
