A Common Greenshank still largely in summer plumage.

My first Long-toed Stint of the season.

My first Green Sandpiper of the season, seen distantly.

Common Sandpiper — also a first for the season.

Long-toed Stints have been increasing too.

Black-winged Stilts appear here and there in small groups of a few birds.

Little Ringed Plovers also arrived in a flock of around a dozen.

In strong winds, a female Crested Serpent Eagle was hunting for prey. She has a black ring marked "7" on her left leg, so this is "Mitchan," an individual that was rescued and rehabilitated in the past. She was released in early April this year, and I recorded her in the same area in April and May as well.

At this time of year I encounter Ryukyu Bitterns very frequently. Perhaps the adults are beginning to drive the juveniles out of their territories.

Black-bellied Terns were often seen sleeping, looking tired.

A Great Crested Tern at the fishing port was catching cockroaches. Perhaps they were washed out of the drains by the typhoon rain.

I'd really rather the Great Crested Terns were eating fish… ^^;

Several Great Crested Terns were flying around the fishing port area. Every individual is in the process of moulting into winter plumage. It will be a little while yet before they bring in juveniles.
