三角池のヘラサギ、ツクシガモ、ソリハシセイタカシギほか

三角池は相変わらずのメンバーでした。ヘラサギ、ツクシガモ、ソリハシセイタカシギ、セイタカシギ、コガモ、ハシビロガモ、バン、オオバンなど。

豊崎干潟にはチュウシャクシギが5羽いました。

サシバは、一昨日北部へ行った時に撮影したものです。

Eurasian Spoonbill

A Eurasian Spoonbill was walking leisurely across the mud.

Pied Avocet

The Pied Avocet is still around.

Ruddy Shelduck

The Common Shelduck is nearly a month into its stay now. The Pied Avocet disappears occasionally, but the Common Shelduck never goes anywhere — always there at Sankakuike. It must really like the place.

Marsh Sandpiper

The Marsh Sandpipers are in a flock of a dozen or so. They were all sleeping, but this one individual was busy foraging.

Eurasian Teal

There are plenty of Eurasian Teal too. There was quite a commotion when a Peregrine flew overhead.

Grey-faced Buzzard

A juvenile Grey-faced Buzzard was at the ground golf course. This one didn't flush either. I observed many Grey-faced Buzzards that day.
