今季初のダイゼンなど河口のシギ、チドリ

河口で今季初のダイゼンを確認しました。ムナグロの群れに混じって1羽だけ。オオメダイチドリは相変わらず個体数が多く、全て幼鳥でした。

セイタカシギ25羽の群れも飛来。淡水のシギなので海にいることはほとんどないことから渡ってきて到着したばかりかもしれませんね。

チュウシャクシギは2羽は 先日から滞在中の個体 と思われます。

Grey Plover

First Grey Plover of the season. Transitioning from breeding to non-breeding plumage. On Ishigaki-jima, it's quite rare to see one in full, jet-black breeding plumage.

Whimbrel

Black-winged Stilt

A flock of Black-winged Stilts. They seemed on edge — perhaps just arrived on migration.
