台風17号の後、ダイシャクシギ、オグロシギなど
台風17号は、沖縄本島からかなり離れていましたが、大変大きな台風だったようで沖縄本島でも結構な風が吹きました。
そんな中、海岸と田んぼの様子を見に行くと、海岸はホウロクシギ2羽と少し離れてダイシャクシギ1羽。田んぼには、オグロシギやエリマキシギ、アメリカウズラシギ、ウズラシギなどいろいろ入っていました。
A Eurasian Curlew on the coast. Handheld at 1200mm is rough… ^^;
There were also 2 Far Eastern Curlews nearby, but a selfie-taking couple flushed them… I'll try again tomorrow.
The Eurasian Curlew was catching crabs one after another.
A Black-tailed Godwit busily foraging in the rice paddies.
I'm seeing Ruffs here and there. Is it a big year for them?
A juvenile Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. I was thinking it would have been nice if it were a Pectoral Sandpiper — then I found a Pectoral Sandpiper in the next paddy over!! That's the photo below.
A different individual from the one above. This is the one I photographed thinking "That's a Pectoral Sandpiper!!" But on closer look, could it be a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper? ^^;
Thought so, but after tips from SHORE BIRDS IN JAPAN and Eta, it turned out to be a Pectoral Sandpiper!! A lifer for me. ^^ Many thanks to you both!! Still, it's impressive that Eta could pick it out without ever having seen a Pectoral Sandpiper. ^^;
Marsh Sandpipers were present in a small flock. Lovely little birds.
Common Redshanks were also in a small group. They were squabbling frequently.
Wood Sandpiper.
