IMG_6509e Cormorants & Fisherman, Guilin, China

Fishing using trained Cormorants to catch the river fish

The birds neck is restricted by string so it cannot swallow a whole fish. They catch the fish & return them to the fisherman

In turn they feed the birds small portions of fish

This traditional method of fishing was employed by China & Japan
