Pied Avocet still present, Malayan Night Heron, Purple Heron and others

Around seven Pied Avocets are staying at several sites. Water levels in the island's paddies are low, so shorebirds are scarce.

Pied Avocet

First-winter Pied Avocet.

Malayan Night Heron

Adult Nankeen Night Heron. An accustomed individual at a tourist spot.

Purple Heron

Juvenile Purple Heron. It caught a juvenile Yaeyama pond turtle.

Common Redshank

A small flock of Common Redshanks. They looked cold.

Whimbrel

First-winter Whimbrel.

Black-headed Gull

A Black-headed Gull that has been staying since last month. Second-winter plumage. Only two this season — a small number.
