We found a few Pintails in the Arasaki Crane Center. A great place for closeups. And later on we found a huge amount of pintails on a wet field. 
I think the third image is quite fun. I captured the Pintail pair just behind the cranes legs :)

It was quite tricky to photograph in the snowfall but I like the images :)
