In the area where I am staying there are hundreds and hundreds of "Tonbi". These are a large black kite found in certain areas of Japan. The peninsula where I live is a real haven for them. The hills around Kamakura are in their native state and there must be plenty of food for them.They also seem to be keen fishermen.
They nest on top of trees, and indeed light poles. Their rather mournful cry can be heard all over town. You see more of them than any other bird, a bit like magpies in SA. I'm sure one of the reasons is that the smaller birds have become very good at hiding from them.
