A national special natural monument, the stork, has arrived at a pond in a residential area of Fukuoka City, and has become a hot topic in the local area.
It is a stork caught by an NHK camera around 4 pm on the 13th.
We also saw people walking around the water slowly, picking up crayfish and trying to drink big fish.
This stork flew to an agricultural pond in Sawara Ward, Fukuoka City.
Since the middle of last month, four storks have come flying at most.
Since the reservoir is located in a residential area, it has become a hot topic in the local area, as people who commute to work or school take pictures with their smartphones.
A man in his 60s who lives in the neighborhood said, "I'm glad that the stork chose this pond all the way. It makes me feel happy."
According to Hyogo Prefectural Stork Town Park, a research facility aiming to return storks to the wild, the individual photographed by NHK this time is a 1-year-old male who hatched in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture in March last year because of the color of the ankle ring. I found out.
Storks occasionally fly to Kyushu in winter and can be seen in fields and rivers, but even in a pond in a residential area, there is a possibility that they will settle in if there is abundant food.
At Stork Township Park, he said, "If you find one, please observe it quietly so as not to warn the stork."
