Heron Colony — photo spot in 2-chōme-15-30 Yoshikawa, 吉川市 Saitama 343-0013, Japan
Heron Colony
A seasonal nesting site where grey herons and other wading birds gather — excellent for close-up bird behaviour, nesting portraits and flight studies. Best at dawn and shortly after sunrise in spring (breeding season) when activity and light peak; late afternoon can yield warm backlight. Approach quietly from public paths/observation points; respect no-entry signs and keep distance to avoid disturbing nests. No special entry fee; limited roadside parking nearby — use public transport where noted
