Crested Honey Buzzard (Pernis ptilorhynchus) EAT THAT TASTY HONEYS!!!, family Accipitridae, found across much of South and East Asia.

SO, here's how I imagine my Shadows!Lifis and Shadows!Perne would interact. (I didn't made a full design for Perne yet... i know... u_u In short: I made him very hairy and meow.)

Fun fact: I wanted to make Perne a raccoon, then I was too stuck on Lifis being a rat that I was like "Then Perne should be a cat for perfect contrast". So, then, I made him a mix of the two! Well, not really, but the idea came from the myth that maine coones were an hybrid of bobcats and raccoons so that was perfect. xD

Crested honey buzzard, Pernis ptilorhynchus The hawk is famous for attacking the nests of hornets and wasps and feeding on larvae and pupae. I had been looking for the hawk, surely an environment they must be crossing from the south, and they finally came out after the rain. When a large bird of prey flies, it is so powerful that I cannot stop being excited. Songs of the Ruddy kingfisher and Kajika frog are beginning to be heard this week, and the young of the Chestnut-cheeked starling and Siberian stonechat that I had been quietly watching over had left the nest safely. I am gradually learning about the changing natural season of central highlands of Japan

ハチクマ スズメバチ類などの巣を襲い、幼虫や蛹を好んで食べる猛禽。きっと南から渡ってくる環境のはず、と探していたのだが、雨上がりにようやく出てきてくれた。大きな猛禽が飛ぶと、やはり迫力があって興奮を禁じえない。 今週はアカショウビンやカジカガエルの声が聞こえ始めたし、そっと見守っていたコムクドリやノビタキの雛も無事巣立った模様。 信州の自然の移り変わりを、少しずつ学ぶ日々。
