Japan
Japanese Robin Erithacus akahige

Japan is located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Being latitudinally long, the island chain covers a wide climatic range; from the boreal to the sub-tropical climate zone. There are also two ecological lines which divide the countries flora and fauna. These are Blakiston`s Line (between Hokkaido and Honshu) and the Watase`s Line (southern Japan). Because of this unusual ecological background, Japan`s avifauna is incredibly rich. More than 600 species have been recorded to date. Most of them are migratory (more than 60%) whilst approximately 60 species are either endemic or sub-regional endemic, including the internationally famous Okinawa Rail, Blakiston`s Fish-owl, Japanese Murrelet, Red-crowned Crane, Pryer`s Woodpecker and Lidth`s Jay.
