First Pin-tailed Snipe, Swinhoe's Snipe and Red-necked Phalarope of the season after the typhoon, and more
With Typhoon No. 6 moving away from Ishigaki Island, I did a patrol of the rice paddies. Pin-tailed Snipe, Swinhoe's Snipe, and Red-necked Phalarope had all arrived for the first time this season.
I recorded my first juvenile Wood Sandpiper and Long-toed Stint of the season. Common Greenshank and Little Ringed Plover numbers were also up.
Cinnamon Bitterns breed on the island, and I am encountering recently fledged juveniles more and more often.
