A Special Exhibit
I work part-time at the Inae Visitor Center at Fujimae Tidal Flat. Every year, the center has a special exhibit, and this year, it is about large birds that you can see at Fujimae. They are called herons and egrets in English, but Japanese uses only one word, “sagi.” Four kinds are white, so it can be difficult to tell the difference between them. The biggest kind is a grey heron. It is a beautiful bird, but it has a bad character. It often steals fish from other birds. A university student is helping with the exhibit. He went to a “sagi” festival, and he made a pole like the one he saw at the festival. I think visitors will like it because they can pick it up and take a picture with it.
