Two Pied Avocets, Common Crane, Eurasian Spoonbill and others
Two Pied Avocets have arrived. They may be individuals already wandering around the island — four more Pied Avocets have also been confirmed elsewhere.
The Common Crane is also in wintering mode. At first it was extremely wary, but now not at all. ^^
A Eurasian Spoonbill is also staying on — a friendly individual. Wintering waders are showing up as well.
Pied Avocets foraging together. The bird in the background is in first-winter plumage; the one in the foreground is an adult in winter plumage.
A Common Crane settling in comfortably at its favourite paddy field.
It seems the Eurasian Spoonbill has decided to winter here as well.
Northern Lapwings are numerous again this season, as they were last year. This individual was on its own, but elsewhere several flocks of more than ten or so birds are wintering.
A small group of Wood Sandpipers. They were bathing.
Common Redshank in first-winter plumage. Small flocks here and there.
Common Greenshank in first-winter plumage. Almost all the wintering birds are juveniles.
Green Sandpipers are scattered here and there as well.
A dozen or so Red-necked Stints on the shore.
Kentish Plovers, Sanderlings, and Lesser Sand Plovers — the wintering contingent.
A few Black-headed Gulls have arrived.
