A daily journal.
Mainly introducing wild birds of Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, through photos.

Shorebirds along the Coast

Stopped to check the coast on my way past and scanned for sandpipers and plovers. The tide was wrong and everything was far off. ^^;

Great Knot

Great Knots arrived in a small flock.

Pacific Golden Plover

About a dozen Pacific Golden Plovers.

Sanderling

A few Sanderlings have been staying.

Ruddy Turnstone

The most numerous is the Ruddy Turnstone.

Black-tailed Gull

There was a Black-tailed Gull with an injured wing. Migration looks tough for that one.

Citrine Wagtail

While watching the waders and plovers, a flock of around 100 Sykes's Wagtails arrived from overhead. A few (Yellow-browed) Citrine Wagtails and Red-throated Pipits were mixed in as well.
