There were plenty of Brown Shrikes around the pastures and hayfields.

A Eurasian Sparrowhawk was chasing White Wagtails around.

A few Grey-faced Buzzards as well. Some were riding thermals, circling as they gained altitude. Nearly time for the northward migration.

A Common Kestrel, showing no wariness, appeared to have caught a Patanga japonica — Japan's largest grasshopper. As Patanga japonica overwinter as adults, it was already a large individual to prey on.

A pair of Eurasian Teal was in the same waterway as the Common Snipe.
