Wild geese in Miyajimanuma, Bibai City!

by Kazu

Many migratory birds drop by the marsh in Bibai City every year.
Wild geese are eating something on the the surface of the pond. Some birds seem to be sleeping in the morning.
Miyajimanuma is on the list of Ramsar Convention, Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat.

The scene of departure is worthwhile.
But rice crop and wheat fields are around the pond and some produces are damaged by the birds in autumn and spring. So we set some feeding area for the birds to reduce the damage of the agricultural fields around this area.
How long should we continue to feed the birds?
