Fifty oriental storks gather at drained pond in Kobe

Original: コウノトリ

Around fifty oriental storks have been seen flocking to an irrigation pond in Nishi-ku, Kobe, where water is being drained, feeding on fish left in the shallows. Local coverage of the rare gathering of the protected birds, a symbol of conservation efforts in Hyogo Prefecture, has drawn wide attention in Japan.

Why now: The unusually large flock of a beloved, once-endangered species in an urban area is capturing public interest.
