A SWAN LAKE IN CHIBA.

My friend informed me there was a swan lake in Chiba. It takes about 2hours from our house to the lake.

                  友人に教えられて、千葉県印西市に白鳥を見に行きました。

                          I went to the lake and watched many swans in the lake.


A swan lake. This is a temporary lake,usually used as a paddy field.

田んぼが一時的に、白鳥の湖になりました。

Many swans in the lake. Precisely speaking,there are Tundra swans.

正確に言うと、彼らはコハクチョウです。

They would gather a little bit near to the feeder person.

餌を与える人の近くに少し近づきます。

But the flock of northen pintails would block them from bait.

オナガガモがコハクチョウをブロックしてしまいました。

Where would they go?

彼らは何処に行くのでしょうか。





This tundra awan just arrived.

遅れて来た一羽のコハクチョウです。

I want to watch the Swan Lake Video as follows.



It was the premiere, and the ballet of Swan Lake was very unpopular, but it was presented again by genius choreographer, Marius Petipa and made a big success.
 However, Tchaikovsky who had composed the music died two years ago.

  2. Lovely photos, here in the UK we have Bewwick's and Whooper Swans that spend the winter with us, they look much the same to your Swans.
    All the best Gordon.

  6. こんばんは、ハクチョウはコハクチョウなんですね。勉強になりました。
    そして 「オナガガモがコハクチョウをブロックしてしまいました」  これを見てびっくりです。
    私が訪問した日は、オナガガモはいなかったのですが、こんなに沢山も!!
    しかもコハクチョウとオナガガモが狭い池で生存競争をしてるなんて、まったく気づきませんでした。
    どの写真もナイスショットですが、一番最後の真正面を向いたコハクチョウは特にナイスショットです。

       こんばんは。ありがとうございます。 餌を与えていたおじさんが、「今日は駄目だ、カモにみんな食べられてしまう。」と言って嘆いていました。
       オナガガモの方が生命力が有るのですね。 もしかしたら、将来はオナガガモの湖になってしまいますね。

  11. ええっ?本当はここ田んぼなんですか?びっくりです。
    ハクチョウとカモの餌争いも楽しいですね。カモのほうが強いのも面白い。やはりハクチョウは「白鳥の湖」のイメージどおり上品な鳥なんでしょうかね?

      こんばんは。田んぼの持ち主の人が、餌付けをしたそうです。白鳥の方が、野生に近いから、臆病なのかも知れません。
       上品かどうか分かりませんが、オナガガモの逞しさに叶わないようです。

  14. こんなにたくさんの白鳥とカモ達、すごいです。日が落ちると白鳥の精によるバレー白鳥の湖が、始まりそうです。ずーと、昔ボリショイバレーによる白鳥の湖を見に行き、感動したのを思い出しました。
    Have a nice weekend!

      こんばんは。夜も白鳥はこの水辺に浮かんで寝るそうです。 ボリショイバレエではとても素晴らしかったと想像しています。
