ヨーロッパトウネン、ハリオシギ、ウズラシギなど
今季初のヨーロッパトウネンを確認しました。キリアイがいるということで見に行ったのですが、キリアイには会えず、かわりにヨーロッパトウネンを発見しました。
ハリオシギは少なくなりましたが逗留中。チュウジシギはかなりの数が滞在。中には妙に白い個体もいました。
エリマキシギやハマシギも滞在中。ハマシギは数を増やして4羽になっていました。
クロハラアジサシの幼鳥は今季初となりました。
セイタカシギやヒバリシギ、タカブシギ、コチドリ、ムナグロなどはとても多くなっています。
The first Little Stint of the season. It was a juvenile.
This Little Stint kept its distance from the flocks of Red-necked Stints and Long-toed Stints.
Pin-tailed Snipe, juvenile. I wonder how long it will stay.
I have already recorded several White-winged Terns, but this was the first juvenile arrival of the season. It looked tired.
I expect juvenile arrivals to increase from here. Hoping for Whiskered Terns as well.
Among a small flock of Swinhoe's Snipe there was one that was strikingly white — white-faced too — and looked very out of place.
Swinhoe's Snipe, juvenile.
Swinhoe's Snipe, adult.
Swinhoe's Snipe, juvenile.
Every snipe I come across is a Swinhoe's Snipe.
I really wanted to see the tail feathers on this one… Tentatively Pin-tailed Snipe.

Red-necked Stint, juvenile. Quite a different impression from the individual above.
Pacific Golden Plover preening.
Moulting from breeding to non-breeding plumage. The primaries appear to be replaced from the middle outward.
