In
spring when the Ayu, or Sweetfish move upstream to spawn, birds gather at this
point in the Kikuchi river, where it drops down a few meters in elevation. They
scan the waters near the wall, making slow peddling movements with their feet. There is always a
lot of action, as the birds fight fiercely over the best location. It makes me wonder why they don’t stick to an easy diet of rice paddy frogs. I guess this shows my lazy side and Ayu tastes much
better. They sure make a good meal at the izakayas!

Such beautiful photography. You should try visiting the Utonai-ko Sanctuary in Lake Utonai, they have different birds migrating there every month!
