The Hawfinch Coccothraustes coccothraustes is considered as a winter visitor to Japan. There is a breeding record of the Hawfinch in Nagano Prefecture in the past. We observed the breeding of Hawfinch from June to July 2022 in the Yashimagahara wetland of Kirigamine Highlands, Nagano. On July 3 and 7, 2022, a video camera was used to film a nest for 90 minutes each day, and three nestlings were confirmed. On July 16, 2022, two fledglings were observed near the nest.
