A sign of early summer: the release of adorable ducklings.

Cute ducklings were released into the rice paddies of Nakanoe-cho, Yamakuni district, Keihoku.

The ducks released into the rice paddies eat weed sprouts and rice pests.
As the ducks swim around in the rice paddies and stir up the soil with their beaks, oxygen is supplied to the water. Furthermore, their droppings act as natural organic fertilizer, helping the rice plants grow.

For a while, while the rice seedlings are growing, you can see cute Aigamo ducks swimming around in the rice paddies near Nakae Bridge.
