Ruddy Shelduck, Lesser White-fronted Goose, Common Crane and others — long stay continues (video)

Two Ruddy Shelducks, two Lesser White-fronted Geese, a Common Crane, and a Greater White-fronted Goose are all on an extended stay. On this day I couldn't find the Greylag Goose or the Taiga Bean Goose. They were quite wary, so perhaps they've retreated to the Ampar wetlands area.

Ruddy Shelduck

Two female Ruddy Shelducks. Both are adults.

Lesser White-fronted Goose

Adult Lesser White-fronted Goose.

Hooded Crane

The Common Crane has become less wary than at first and is now easier to observe.

Greater White-fronted Goose

There were 22 Greater White-fronted Geese in total.

Tundra Swan

A Tundra Swan is also staying. It shows little wariness and does not flee even when walkers pass by.
