ツバメチドリの群れ
田んぼにツバメチドリの群れが飛来しました。田んぼで休んだり、空高く舞い上がり獲物をとったりしていました。

I looked up and saw one had soared high into the sky — and it had caught a grasshopper. I was surprised enough that a grasshopper was flying at that height, but the eyesight of the Oriental Pratincole that spotted and caught it was equally astonishing.
