At a shrine in Nogi Town, Tochigi Prefecture, where owls are known for raising children, grown-up chicks have appeared for the first time in two years, and many photo enthusiasts are visiting.

At Nogi Shrine in Nogi Town, owls have been seen building nests and raising children with zelkova in the precincts for about 25 years.



Last year, I couldn't confirm the appearance of yellowtail, but this time, one chick that grew up to about 25 cm in length was confirmed for the first time in two years.



On the 17th, it was seen perching on a high branch above the burrow, and in the precincts, photography enthusiasts and others were shooting whitish and fluffy chicks.

A woman in her 70s, who came from Satte City, Saitama Prefecture, said, "Mofumofu is very cute and healed. I want you to flutter yourself and grow up quickly."



At the shrine, a monitor is installed to follow the appearance of the chicks for easy observation, but it means that the observation and shooting are done by 6 pm so as not to stress the chicks and their parents.



Ebinuma Masashi of Nogi Shrine said, "I can finally see one bird, and the shrine is also crowded. There are many deciduous trees in the precincts, and the Watarase Retarding Ground is a feeding ground, so I can raise children in a relatively good environment. I think. "
