Western Sandpiper, Broad-billed Sandpiper, Red-necked Stint and Others (video)
Oct. 4, 2022
I went to Nagoya for a post-operative check-up after cervical spine surgery and did some birding while I was there. After three years of trying, I finally got to see Western Sandpiper. I also observed Broad-billed Sandpiper, Great Knot, and Red-necked Stint.
Along with the Western Sandpiper, Baikal Teal and Japanese Wagtail were lifers for me.
The Little Stint was at first sitting and resting in a hollow, but there was something about it that felt slightly off. ^^ Still, once it mixes into a flock of Red-necked Stints it gets difficult.
