Arriving early is good. On March 21st is was essential. The birds that start flying when the tide runs in, and usually return to find a place to rest closer to the shore line, well, they didn't come back... All birds' pictures are either on the mud or at a distance.
Long-billed Dowitchers, オオハシシギ and Grey Plovers, ダイセン
Bar-tailed Godwit, オオソリハシシギ in front of the Spoonbills, who will feature in the next post.
Back-lit
Common Ringed Plover, ハジロコチドリ
Only got to see a few Stints. This one seemed to be a Little Stint, ヨーロッパトウネン
With Saunders's Gulls, ズグロカモメ
Longer legs, different posture and way of feeding. A little more contrast...
Now, who is who?
Many Saunders's Gulls, ズグロカモメ were sporting black heads.
2 Flagged Dunlins, ハマシギ . Here is one:
Great Knot, オバシギ. Just one. But it's a start
Flying Far Eastern Curlew, ホウロクシギ
Eurasian Curlews, ダイシャクシギ
Look at the Spoonbills next!
