She was searching for insects in the corner of the breakwater and carrying them.

I think she's probably feeding them to her chicks, maybe wharf roach?

Now it's time for the chicks to munch.

It came here to eat the fruit of Chinese sumac, but what's with this way of holding on?

　Who is taking these wonderful photos?

Minoru Tadachi　　Don't worry be happy

He lives in the heart of Azumino field, works here, looks at birds, flowers and a cloud everyday.
There are springs from Mt.Jonen and Chogatake, lush greenery, wasabi fields and blue sky.
In such daily life, Tadachi-san talks to living things around him everyday.
"Good morning everyone! What are you doing?"
Wild birds and insects reply to him.
"Good morning Tadachi-san! What are you doing?"
In such way, the day begins and ends.
These are wonderful photos from such a country life.
