◼️Camera Angles
Three photos are required: “Full View 1,” “Full View 2,” and “Pole Number.”
・Full View 1, Full View 2: Photograph so that the entire utility pole fills the camera frame.
Full View 2 should be taken from a different direction than Full View 1.
※Please keep a distance of approximately 5–10 meters from the utility pole.
・Pole Number: Photograph the pole number so that it fills the camera frame.
*If there are two plates, photograph so that both plates are visible.
【How to Report Vines】
In this season, you will be asked to select whether vines are present before submitting your photos.
If you find vines while photographing, check the height of the vine tips on the utility pole and select the appropriate option.
When selecting “Yes,” you can take one additional photo. If you feel the vine growth is not clearly visible in the photos already taken, please take an additional photo before submitting (the angle is flexible, so please photograph from an angle where the vine growth is clearly visible).
If there are no vines, select “No” and press the “Send” button.
<Examples of utility poles with vine growth>
〇Very top of the pole
〇Above the middle of the pole
〇Below the middle of the pole
【How to Report Crow’s Nest Discoveries】

Please make crow’s nest discovery reports from the megaphone icon in the upper right of the utility pole detail screen.
