今季初のチョウゲンボウ、一気に増えたツメナガセキレイ

今季初チョウゲンボウを確認しました。なぜか幼鳥でした。例年、成鳥で初記録するのですがなぜだろう?

昨日、今季初確認したマミジロツメナガセキレイ は今日になって一気に増え、田んぼや畑で大きな群れが見られました。成鳥、幼鳥が入り混じっていました。

数日前に今季初確認していて写真を撮り忘れていたチュウダイサギも引き続き、同じ場所で逗留中です。

Common Kestrel

First Common Kestrel of the season. It was a juvenile. It appeared while I was watching sandpipers and plovers on the coast.

Citrine Wagtail

White-browed Wagtail, adult female. Moulting into non-breeding plumage.

Citrine Wagtail

This individual was in a flock of White-browed Wagtails, but it also looks like it could be a juvenile (Yellow) Wagtail — for now I'll leave it as White-browed Wagtail. ^^; Moulting from juvenile to first-winter plumage.

Great Egret

One Great Egret mixed in among Little Egrets and Cattle Egrets.
