World: stay as you are.


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7794859/Chinese-fisherman-uses-flock-cormorants-haul-catch-day.html


 Photographer Julia Wimmerlin, 42, captured the spectacular moment a fisherman used a flock of Cormorants to capture big fish at the Li River in Guilin, China. The 437km stretch of river cuts through southern China with ancient villages lining the waterside and water buffalos roaming the fields

Julia's photograph series shows the tropical bird struggling to hold the wriggling fish tight in its mouth and spraying water as the eager fisherman watches on

The fisherman is pictured deep in thought while perching on a bamboo among the towering mountains. It is thought that boxes of Cormorants are piled on to boats for tour guides taking holidaymakers on fishing trips

Julia put her camera in a waterproof case before dipping it slightly in the water to snap a Cormorant swooping down into the river to grasp a small fish in its mouth

Cormorant fishing is an ancient ritual dating back to to 960 AD and is thought to require a close relationship between the fisherman and bird. Here they are photographed sharing a tender moment as the local man appears to be telling the Cormorant, perched on the net, something while holding his hand mid-air





He angles a wooden pole, holding one of the aquatic birds, to the sky as they anticipate the arrival of fish. The photographer, of Ukraine, said witnessing the moment was 'so beautiful it felt surreal'


Julia revealed 'most fisherman who still know how to use the birds are in their 80s and the youngest are in their 60s' suggesting the unique skill of the fishing method

The local fisherman gently floats aboard his makeshift boat and could potentially be one of the last remaining people with the centuries old skills, according to the photographer. It once was a successful industry but has been taken over by tourism where locals get murial licenses to take holidaymakers on day trips
