島に住む若手2人を案内
島に住む鳥屋見習い中の2人を連れて4時間ほど鳥見。オオメダイチドリとアカアシシギの幼鳥に出会えました。どちらも今季初の幼鳥。これでシギ、チドリの幼鳥はシロチドリ、コチドリと合わせて4種を確認。
A juvenile Greater Sand Plover. It was found in a rice paddy — possibly due to the influence of the typhoon.
A juvenile Common Redshank. It was mixing alone into a flock of Wood Sandpipers.
My first Marsh Sandpiper of the season is transitioning from summer to winter plumage.
Some Common Greenshanks are also showing a little winter plumage.
Wood Sandpipers have been arriving in large numbers — I saw several hundred in half a day. Juveniles have not yet arrived.
Grey-tailed Tattler, first-summer transitioning to winter plumage.
The Ryukyu Yellow Bittern — a bird I encounter almost every day when searching for waders and plovers.
