A short distance from the river weed harvester I spied these willow harvesters moored beneath a tree on the river bank.
I still find myself amazed at the stability of the bamboo rafts used in China such as this one being used by a man harvesting river weed.
This overhang in the limestone rack face was a significant swift nesting site. Out of harvesting season, there was no one working on this day. Bird's nest harvesting is a regulated industry and there were signs above the jetty here warning trespassers off. All the bamboo poles you can see here are used by the harvesters to reach the rock ceiling where the swifts build their nests.
