Plenty of Pin-tailed and Swinhoe's Snipe
Pin-tailed Snipe and Swinhoe's Snipe have been building in numbers since around mid-August. Pin-tailed Snipe are noticeably scarce this season. The 3rd Ishigaki Island Snipe Camp is scheduled for August 30th, so I'm wondering whether numbers will pick up before then.

A Swinhoe's Snipe like this — only a handful of encounters in a whole season. A juvenile. Thrilling.
