Re: “Grandma at Yamamoto-yama” (山本山のおばあちゃん)

When I walked along a nostalgic road after doing my shopping at the roadside station, I happened to see a lot of cameramen standing by for something. I soon realized that the area is now famous for “Grandma at Yamamoto-yama”, an old female eagle coming from Russia for spending her life here in winter. According to the paper, she came again at the mountain on Nov. 10 this year, and this is her 28th continuous visit this winter. It’s a pity that I was not able to see the “Grandma” then. Since I didn’t have the patience to wait for her for a long time, I soon left the place, saying to the mountain “Goodbye, and take care, grandma!”.

【日本語訳】

タイトル:山本山のおばあちゃん
「道の駅」で買い物をした後、どことなく郷愁を誘う道を歩いていると、何やらカメラマンが大勢待機しているのを見かけました。すぐにこの辺りは「山本山のおばあちゃん」で有名になっているのだと気づきました。ロシアから越冬のためにやってくる老いた雌のワシで、新聞によると今年は11月10日に再びこの山にやって来たとのこと、今冬で28回目の来訪だそうです。残念ながらその時は「おばあちゃん」に会えませんでした。長く待つ気にはなれなかったので、「おばあちゃん、じゃあね!」と山に向かって声をかけ、その場を後にしました。
