There are not so many places left around Fukuoka
where we can see the birds nesting. These have chosen a spot under the roof
of an elementary school near the mountains. The nest looks quite different from that of
the common Barn swallows, who were actually there as well.
Red-rumped
Swallow, コシアカツバメ
From the window on the second floor of the school this nest was nearly too close for my gear (300mm 2.8 plus 1.4 TC) to produce an image.
Also seen in the area:
Hydrangea,
アジサイ, dragonflies, トンボ
and several different colorful beetles
Other birds on that day:
Little
Ringed Plover, コチドリ
Grey
Wagtail, キセキレイ
Which is called yellow in Japanese and
grey in English
