ヒメフクロウ

The Collared Owlet, known scientifically as <em>Glaucidium brodiei</em>, is a small owl belonging to the family Strigidae. As one of the smallest owls in its range, <em>Glaucidium brodiei</em> is characterised by its compact body, rounded head without ear tufts, and distinctive false eyespots — dark patches on the back of the head that may serve as a deterrent against predators. The species typically inhabits montane and submontane forests, where it hunts insects, small birds, and other small vertebrates. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. Collared Owlets are largely diurnal or crepuscular in behaviour, often calling from exposed perches. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The Collared Owlet is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

ヒバリ

ヒバリ(Alauda arvensis)は、飛翔中に歌う複雑で美しい声でヨーロッパの文学と詩に称えられてきました。ヨーロッパとアジア全域の開けた農地、草地、荒野の上空を数百メートルも垂直に舞い上がりながら、最長1時間にわたって途切れなく歌い続けます。雄は700種類以上の独特なさえずりを発することができます。かつてヨーロッパの農地で非常に多かったヒバリの個体数は、農業の集約化により1970年代から70%以上減少しています。
