Cormorant Fishing - 5 Spots To Witness A Treasured Fishing Tradition

Ukai (cormorant fishing) is a traditional technique of catching river fish with the help of cormorants. Three rivers in Japan are said to be preserving this old custom -  Nagara River in Gifu, Hiji River in Ehime and Mikuma River in Oita.

A cormorant spreading it’s wings to dry them in the sun at WWT Slimbridge.

I am not entirely sure of the breed of goose populating the banks, but going by the dark bars across the chest and the white ringed, orange beak I would hazard a guess at the Greater White-fronted Goose.
