砂浜のシギ、チドリ(動画あり)
午後から時間が空き、潮もちょうど良かったので砂浜の干潟にバードウオッチングに行ってきました。
ダイシャクシギやミユビシギ、ハマシギ、ダイゼンなど。ミユビシギは、越冬するようで10月から20羽ぐらいが常時います。ダイシャクシギは、1羽だったり2羽だったり。以前見たホウロクシギは抜けてしまったようです。
There was one Eurasian Curlew. It appeared to be catching crabs by probing its long bill into their burrows.
There were about 20 Sanderlings. They have been here since last month, so it seems they are wintering.
Among the flock of Sanderlings, there was one Dunlin mixed in. The Dunlin was in first-winter plumage.
In Okinawa, Pacific Golden Plovers are by far the most common, but a few Grey Plovers are also staying here.
