This morning I had a little bit of time and the weather was great, so I went to nearby Hyotanike lake to see what was happening.
This lake has very nice scenery but is usually a bit low on bird life other than the resident Mallard and some introduced ducks.
But the Barn Swallows love drinking and bathing in the lake, so this is another good place to try to photograph them in flight.
A female Common Kingfisher was also briefly present.
