漫湖干潟でリュウキュウヨシゴイほか

漫湖干潟でナンヨウショウビンの登場を待っているとリュウキュウヨシゴイが登場。以前よりかなり数を減らしているそうです。私も漫湖干潟で見たのは初めて。

秋の渡りのシギは、チュウシャクシギやキアシシギ、アカアシシギ、ソリハシシギが多くいます。アオアシシギは数羽。

肝心のナンヨウショウビンは出ませんでした。^^; 明日に期待。

Yellow Bittern

As the tide began to come in toward high water, a Ryukyu Least Bittern appeared before I even noticed it.

Whimbrel

Whimbrels and other waders that visit the Manko mudflat feed heavily on crabs.

Common Greenshank

Common Greenshanks — a few birds came in. They were strikingly white individuals, having almost completely moulted into winter plumage.
