久しぶりの金武芋畑
久しぶりに金武の芋畑へ行って来た。水路には、美しい夏羽のコアオアシシギ、億首川には、70羽弱のセイタカシギの群れ、畑には夏羽のアマサギ、休耕田には、ジシギ(チュウジシギ?)、夕方になるとどこからともなく、数十羽のタカブシギの群れが田んぼに入りました。
セキレイの仲間もほとんどいなくなり、キセキレイを1羽だけ確認した。
Marsh Sandpiper in breeding plumage.
It was foraging in a channel, keeping neither too close nor too far from a Common Greenshank.
Large numbers of Black-winged Stilts were resting along the Okukubi River. They appear to be birds moving north.
A Cattle Egret with an injured neck.
Wagtails have become almost absent; this day I spotted only a single Grey Wagtail.
A flock of Pacific Golden Plovers on the field embankments.
There were four snipe in the same paddy field. I have a feeling they're Swinhoe's Snipe.
I don't think this is a Common Snipe.
