The cormorant corps appears! The special skill is diving

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] July 26, 2016 14:00

Something happens when walking on a rainy day!

Would you like to say that the promise you have made in the last six months?

On this day, I passed through Aioi Bridge and came to the end of Ishikawajima Park and Sumida River Terrace.

Isn't there an unfamiliar military group?

Mr. Kawau? ? ?

Usually, Kawau makes colonies on the tree, but always acts alone.

I doubt my eyes at this sight.

1 bird, 2 birds, 7 birds, 10 birds, 15 birds, 17, 18, 18,

Are you just swimming? No, no, they seem to be catching food in groups.

When the head begins to dive, it dives one after another.

The dive speed is as if men's rhythmic gymnastics are doing consecutive back tens.

I am surprised at the strength and elegance.

You've been catching fish for the fourth time since then.

In the 1970s, the water quality of the river deteriorated to 3,000 birds due to a decrease in the number of fish.

At that time, there were only three breeding grounds nationwide, including Ueno Shinobazunoike.

Now it is up to 150,000 birds.

This powerful swimming would have led to the resilience of the threat.

Mr. Kawau, who started diving here, how many seconds do you think he has been diving?

About 30 seconds!

Once, try to stop the competition, it's hard for us to win.

Diving distances are quite good, and they appear in unexpected places.

Why don't you take a walk with your child on the Sumida River Terrace during summer vacation?

You can see the dive Kawau near you.
