Pin-tailed Snipe, Oriental Pratincole, Whiskered Tern, Black-faced Bunting and others
Made the usual rounds of the paddies. The cast of birds had barely changed; about the only new arrival was the Whiskered Tern.
A Swinhoe's Snipe observed at just the right distance.
Another Swinhoe's Snipe. It had been moving around together with the one above.
The two Swinhoe's Snipe from above, side by side.
Are the Oriental Pratincoles trying to breed in this paddy field? They show no sign of moving on.
A few Little Ringed Plovers have also arrived.
A small flock of Pacific Golden Plovers is staying on.
A few Black-bellied Terns had arrived.
This is a Black-faced Bunting found on Iriomote Island. There were about three of them. The Ruddy-breasted Crake I was hoping to see never showed up… ^^;
