Ruff, Common Redshank, Long-toed Stint and others
The Ruff that has been staying since last month. When it is not in the paddies, it apparently moves into the irrigation channels. Common Redshank, Long-toed Stint, Red-necked Stint, Dunlin, Common Greenshank, Marsh Sandpiper, Black-winged Stilt, and Wood Sandpiper are all still present.
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… ^^;
