SEOUL, Feb. 6 (Yonhap) - Various kinds of birds of prey, including natural monuments, are observed in Junam Reservoir, Korea's representative migratory bird destination, drawing attention.
From the 4th to the 5th, natural monuments such as white-tailed eagles, goshawk, sparrow hawk, and hen harrier were caught in the Junam Reservoir in Dong-eup, Uichang-gu, Changwon-si, South Gyeongsang province.
In particular, the greater spotted eagle, known as a very rare bird of prey, was also seen flying.
Photographers from all over the country have gathered at the site and filmed upland buzzard and short-eared owl, which are hard to see in the south region, with large cameras.
