They are returning

Stingray, I found there. In the river mouth, brackish water area. Around floating are mullets. The fish is big, in the size around 1m. So, comparing those fishes you can see the size of the stingray which I found.

Spring has been closely approaching, and water temperature has been rising.
Fishes and Stingrays are flocking around the river mouth.

Ducks. They seem to have gone to Siberia where their breeding areas are found.
In turn, swallows have already arrived here in Japan. Habitat sharing? Perhaps?

Here I took a short video footage of “sliding” stingray.
It moves the edge of its circular body like transmitting wave, with acceleration exchanged between body and water which gives the stingray thrust force or propulsion.

Mullets are famous for karasumi (dried mullet roe).
Some Japanese say Mullets are good (as sea food)
But most of Japanese people would say, “It’s not suitable for food because of its unpleasant odder”. (It’s like smell of mud often found in riverbed in urban area)

Some people say that those mullets that are found far from coastline are good.

Those lifeforms are found in the river mouth just next to my factory office where I was transferred last year from a distant place where my family members remain.

Then, I said to my wife on mobile phone that I want to catch the fish with large net.
Then she said,
“Don’t! It’s quite embarrassing if you are seen by your office colleagues, they would say “Look at that guy, Mr.X isn’t it? Foolish! Of chasing mullets!””.

So, I gave up the idea of returning to my childhood.

Of course, even if I have still a sense of wild-kids, visually nobody can recognize the sense because I am looking quite like seiner aged man, it’s unlikely that people see me as “The little Prince”.
