The needletails seemed picking up nest-building material in pond by their month and transfering to their tiny feet in the air.

Dear Uncle tall,

This is the best photo of needletail I have seen so far. Would you also post it in the China Photo Gallery?

Thanks, but they are not sharp enough at all. I wish Pippenho were there. I am sure he could take a perfect shot. There are 6 needletails in 3 pairs that frequently visit the fishpond in the reserve so we can get close enough for photography. Unfortunately we have put too much time for the merganser and cannot wait for the needletail - the best moment is when it skim the water!

One more photo to share
