まだまだいけるハリオシギ、チュウジシギ、タシギ
一旦は数を減らしたハリオシギですが、きょうは3羽を確認。タシギは今季初の確認。チュウジシギは大量にいて一日で20羽ほどを確認。今後はハリオシギ、チュウジシギが減りタシギがどんどん増えてきます。
昨年は越冬するかと期待するほど遅くまで残るハリオシギが1羽いましたが、いつの間にかいなくなっていました。ことしこそは越冬してほしいですね。
Found a Pin-tailed Snipe juvenile among the many Swinhoe's Snipe.
Same individual as above. It was foraging on the slope of a paddy bund.
I was watching a Pin-tailed Snipe when a male Greater Painted-snipe came charging in.
Thanks to the Greater Painted-snipe, I got a shot of the tail feathers. Pin-tailed Snipe has the most tail feathers of any bird.
An adult male Greater Painted-snipe, looking proud after driving off the Pin-tailed Snipe.
A Pin-tailed Snipe showing off its trademark needle-like tail feathers to intimidate a Black-winged Stilt. This one is also a juvenile.
Pin-tailed Snipe (right) and Swinhoe's Snipe — the same individual as above — both showing their tail feathers at the same time. Seeing two together like this is really quite rare.
The third Pin-tailed Snipe of the day. Also a juvenile. It barely came out of the grass, so this was the best I could do. ^^;
First Common Snipe of the season. It was a juvenile.
A typical juvenile Swinhoe's Snipe.
Also a juvenile Swinhoe's Snipe, but not the typical type.
Same individual as above.
This one is a typical juvenile Swinhoe's Snipe.
Same individual as above. An easygoing bird that didn't flinch even when a farmer walked right past it.
