First juvenile Grey-tailed Tattler of the season, snipe numbers crash
I confirmed the first juvenile Grey-tailed Tattler of the season. Swinhoe's Snipe and Pin-tailed Snipe have crashed in numbers after the typhoon — almost none left. Snipe-watching will have to wait until the next wave arrives.
The Greater Painted-snipe chicks from the first brood of the year are fully grown but still seem to be moving around together as siblings. A second brood is underway and I am seeing adults with small chicks.
A flock of around 200 Eastern Cattle Egrets came into the paddies. Numbers will keep climbing.
