毎年、120種はいける、と思っているけれど(実際いるにはいるけれど)、やはりうまく出てくれず70種〜90種程度でした。昨年は地震があり自粛したりなど、なかなか思うように行きませんでした。今年は雪も少なく、午前11時から夜を挟んで翌日の午前11時までの連続24時間でチャレンジしました。暗い時に移動することでポイントをカバー出来るようにしました。今年は小鳥が少なく苦労しましたが、低山から渓流沿いを三カ所巡り、それなりに拾うことができました。猛禽もうまい具合にイヌワシ、クマタカも含め出てくれました。ようやく？思う通り、運もよく100種越えに成功したけれど、やはり出ない種も多々ありました。来年も他地域でチャレンジしたいと思いました。いつか120種越えの日が来ることを夢見ています。
