Little Ringed Plover / Ringed / flagged bird

A Little Ringed Plover with a flag and leg ring. According to records from the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology, the flag was attached at Lake Komuke in Hokkaido. Lake Komuke to Ishigaki Island is 2,800 kilometres. Remarkable that a bird barely 16 centimetres long makes that crossing!!
