A visit to Isahaya results in images of raptors of various sorts and sizes. Some people spend hours waiting for the Harriers, particularly the male Hen Harrier. It is a magnificent bird that flies low over the fields, looking for prey. And when you see it, it certainly fills you with awe. On the other hand, the female frequently hunts and shows herself many times a day

Eurasian Kestrels, チョウゲンボウ there are plenty. They don't mind people around them and sit on utility poles and wires.
There were Buzzards and Falcons as well. It's a marvelous place for people who like birds of prey.
