長期滞在中のジャワアカガシラサギと今季初確認のコガモほか
8月中旬から滞在中のジャワアカガシラサギまだいました。一時、見えなくなっていたので久しぶりの再会です。ジャワアカガシラサギの滞在は、まもなく2カ月となります。
今季初確認となるコガモが2羽田んぼにいました。カルガモの群れに紛れていた。ほかにも田んぼには、ムラサキサギやクロハラアジサシ、シマアカモズ、シマキンパラ、ツメナガセキレイ、セイタカシギ、アオアシシギ、タカブシギなど。
シギは、9月末に一気に抜けて数も種類も減っています。
A Javan Pond Heron staying over. Will it winter here?
The same individual as above. Until recently, two Javan Pond Herons were in the same rice paddy, but today there was only one.
The first Eurasian Teal of the season. There were two, but both were juveniles.
Several Purple Herons in the paddies as well. It's becoming a good time of year to see them.
The overwintering Brown Shrikes are calling
Wood Sandpiper juvenile. The ones still around are all juveniles.
Black-winged Stilt, juvenile. A few adults mixed in here and there.
Common Greenshank, winter plumage. Numbers are thinning out, with only the wintering birds remaining.
