Stonechats and some more seasonable birds

Tuesday, October 8th. The rain was supposed to clear in the afternoon, but that didn't happen. However, we set out in search of Stonechats. When we finally found them, they were far away and hardly came close. That is usually the case when birds have just arrived.


Black-browed Reed Warbler, コヨシキリ


Stonechat, ノビタキ  First of the season







In another field we found a Zitting Cisticola, セッカ with an insect. Is it still nesting?



On the way back, one young Whiskered Tern, クロハラアジサシ





A few days later, when the weather was clear and sunny the Stonechats, ノビタキ were still shy, but the urge to perch on a pole is strong





A little closer



In one of the 2 ponds a Northern Shoveler, ハシビロガモ was all by itself



The lonesome Tern, クロハラアジサシ was there as well, looking much nicer against the blue sky.





One Black-browed Reed Warbler, コヨシキリ flew by and briefly showed itself.



And later just one Black-winged Stilt, セイタカシギ could be seen in one of the rice paddies.




Many single birds today. I feel sorry for them

The last 2 photos are from October 6th. A Great Knot, オバシギ and a Red Knot, コオバシギ on the concrete wall at high tide.
