Many dragonflies were in the pond.
I took a walk in Katakura Castle Ruins Park. I heard a Lesser Cuckoo, but overall I felt there were few birds. Many dragonflies were emerging in the pond.
A Varied Tit appeared near the watermill.
It was still on the concrete beside the pond. When a Anax nigrofasciatus male came, it took off, but was soon chased away.
Blue compound eyes.
A Japanese Grass Lizard was walking on the wooden path.
A Eastern Spot-billed Duck parent and child were napping along the Yudono River.
A female Anax nigrofasciatus was laying eggs in the pond.
A Red-eared Slider was peeking out in the dragonfly pond.
A Neptis sappho flew onto a tree near the pond.
