In Goto City, Nagasaki Prefecture, it was confirmed that swallows, which are also called "spring messengers," are flying.
It is said that swallows fly to the Japanese archipelago from the south in spring, and many return to the nests where they spent the previous year.
In Goto City, on the 13th, it was confirmed that a swallow that had traveled thousands of kilometers across the sea flew in for the first time in a year.
According to the locals, this year's swallows will arrive about a week earlier than last year.
Dozens of swallows were seen flying energetically in the sky, catching insects near the surface of the water, and resting and preening on power lines.
In Goto City, the full-scale farming season begins when swallows arrive.
