蕪栗沼の夕暮れと朝焼け

蕪栗沼で雁のねぐら入りを見た。だんだん近づいてくる雁の列によって空の奥行きを感じる。



Roosting geese at Kabukurinuma lake.
I wonder how it would be to live next to these lakes and hear the sound every evening and morning. For people live there, it is a part of daily soundscape that occurs certain time of the day just like chimes from the town speaker or street sellers' music. People must miss them and/or feel relieved when the geese are gone in the spring and it suddenly becomes quiet. And it must be a wonderful way to feel the change of the season.  



翌朝は、夕方にたくさんの雁がねぐら入りした方角の池の端で飛び立ちを待つ。なぜか前日の伊豆沼の朝よりも30分近く早く本隊が飛び立っていった。雁はいったいいつ飛び立とうって決めるのだろう。



Silhouette of the white-tailed eagle in front of the geese taking off from the lake for morning feed. What a gorgeous picture!



帰りは青春18切符の旅。電車の窓からもマガンウォッチング。後ろに田んぼが広がる駅に停車するとうれしい。この辺りでは雁はどこにでもいる存在なのだと実感した。
