Reunited with a Ruff. Apparently when they're not in the paddies, they're in the irrigation channels.

Common Redshank juvenile (foreground) and adult.

Little Stint first-summer plumage.

A female Black-winged Stilt.

Dunlin juvenile. The flock had numbered in the teens, but on this day only one remained.

The Red-necked Stints are now all juveniles.

The first juvenile Whiskered Tern of the season. Around five birds confirmed, including adults.

A Pacific Reef Heron that turned up in the rice paddies for some reason. It was chasing Little Egrets around. Same behaviour as at the coast… ^^;
