Little Stint and Dunlin. The smaller Little Stint is flying at the front.

It gave me a stretch. Adult winter plumage — would that be right?

A Little Stint sandwiched between Dunlins. The size difference is so obvious there's no chance of confusing it with a Dunlin.

A Little Stint, slightly sleeked down in alarm.

Likewise, a Red-necked Stint was on the same mudflat.

A Great Knot moving from juvenile to first-winter plumage.

Juvenile Bar-tailed Godwit. There were several.

Juvenile Grey Plover. Most were adults, but there were a few juveniles too.

A Heuglin's Gull was bathing.

A juvenile Peregrine flushing the waders from the mudflat.

Juvenile Common Snipe. All the snipe were Common Snipe.

Adult male Japanese Wagtail. It was great to hear a call completely different from Eastern Yellow Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, and White Wagtail. ^^

Adult female Japanese Wagtail.
