ミサゴと落ち鮎

 昨日書いたように、桂川では落ち鮎の数が減らない状況が続いています。これを狙うミサゴも連日桂川で狩りを行い、そのダイナミックなダイビングが見られます。この日は桂離宮付近で鮎を捕らえたミサゴが夕日の中を意気揚々と帰って行きました。

 As I wrote yesterday, the number of Ayu fish going downstream in Katsura River has not decreased. Ospreys are hunting for them, and their dynamic diving can be seen every day. On this day, an osprey caught a sweetfish near Katsura Imperial Villa and went home in high spirits in the setting sun.
