Reunited with a Ruff. Apparently when they're not in the paddies, they're in the irrigation channels.
Common Redshank juvenile (foreground) and adult.
Little Stint first-summer plumage.
A female Black-winged Stilt.
Dunlin juvenile. The flock had numbered in the teens, but on this day only one remained.
The Red-necked Stints are now all juveniles.
The first juvenile Whiskered Tern of the season. Around five birds confirmed, including adults.
A Pacific Reef Heron that turned up in the rice paddies for some reason. It was chasing Little Egrets around. Same behaviour as at the coast… ^^;
