Migrating Waders in Fukuoka

There are very few fields where migrating waders can go to rest and find food. In this small ricefield they were all huddling together during high tide, when the mudflats are submerged.


Spotted Redshanks, ツルシギ





Black-tailed Godwits, オグロシギ





Black-taled Godwit, オグロシギ and Marsh Sandpiper, コアオアシシギ



Something made them all fly up and return in a minute. The result was a parade, right in front of me.



Ruff, エリマキシギ and Black-winged Stilt, セイタカシギ



There were 2 Ruffs. Both male or both female?



Garganey, シマアジ



Other ducks were Spot-billed Ducks, Mallards and these 2. Gadwalls, オカヨシガモ?



Dunlin, ハマシギ moulting to winter plumage.





Marsh Sandpiper, コアオアシシギ



1 of 6 or 8 Black-winged Stilts, セイタカシギ
