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 :)

    One of my favourite wintering ducks here. Always looks so neat.

    Of course I love the Cranes too. Have never seen a Pintail so this is a treat. I marvel at the pictures you captured in Japan ...

    Yor reflections are surreal ... and the subjects pull at my heart strings. Love it, Monica :)
