Each year at Isahaya, several Amur Falcons visit to stock up before embarking on their incredible journey to the east coast of Africa where they spend the northern hemisphere winter.<\/p>\n

It is only in autumn that they occur in Japan, as they return to their breeding grounds in the Russian Far East via a different route that takes them through India and central China.<\/p>\n

At Isahaya it is often the juveniles that pass through \u2013 the adult birds seem to migrate closer to the continent using islands such as Tsushima and Goto.<\/p>\n

This year seems to have been a good year for breeding, as the number of juveniles has surpassed the previous few season and even an immature male bird has been observed \u2013 usually it is only female birds that visit Isahaya.<\/p>\n
