Temminck's Stint, オジロトウネン revenge

Nothing much had changed the next day, but my luck improved. The Stilts were al gathered at the fields behind the farm and my target bird came a wee bit closer.

Black-winged Stilts, セイタカシギ

Common Snipe, タシギ　Didn't see any the day before and this time just only this one briefly. They haven't returned yet I guess.

Went to the fields after a long absence and found a surprising number of species. First at the usual location:

Black-winged Stilt, セイタカシギ 2 juveniles

Ruff, エリマキシギ  2 of 3 birds

Had to wait a while for one to come close

But then she gave me a big show of wings and feathers

In Imazu these 3 came hurrying to see me. Have they been here all summer? They would get fed by the locals, but 2 of the birds seemed quite shy as in not really used to humans...
