Teach and Man to Fish



















Give a man a fish and he eats for a day.

Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.

Teach a bird to fish on a man's behalf and you have yourself a nice little business.

As in these amazing photographs from The Independent, where a cormorant master or 'Usho' trains the birds to capture sweetfish or 'ayu' on the River Nagara in Japan.

The 'Usho' doing his stuff here is Mr Masahiko Sugiyama, but whoever dreamed up the whole idea in the first place must have been really clever if you ask me.
