Local idols

I remembered the Andersen fairy tale that the son of an awkward duck was a child of a swan. The swan chicks had such a grayish color.
Actually, Hina was born last month at Cobb Swan in the moat of Takeda Shrine. This is the first time in 50 years. Is it a mother who is watching a swim chick? It is a very smart sight.



I put bread 's ear in a basket. Countermeasures to prevent the koi that are many in the moat from being snatched for food. There was one barely inside the basket. It's all you can eat.



It seems that 5 births were actually born. It seems that three birds have become unnoticed, and it is hard to survive though it is inside the moat where people's eyes can reach.
The building that you can see in the back of the photo is Kofu Municipal Aikawa Elementary School. On the weekday, the fifth grade of this elementary school is feeding. Currently, this Hina - chan is an idol of Takeda Shrine. Everyone in the town wishes to grow up safely and safely.
