The American visitor drew a big crowd on the 19th. Birders from all over Japan came to see this beautiful bird. Maybe because of all the spectators, the bigger birds, Godwits, Curlews, Whimbrels etc flew a lot. Once landed briefly the search was on and people came running. With its dark plumage, it was fairly easy to pick out and to follow, I thought.
For a positive identification, I wanted to capture the black underwings
Among other Godwits, mostly Bar-tailed, オオソリハシシギ
At the far side of the flood line, with Grey Plover, ダイセン
When everybody flies, I stay behind... briefly
Can you find me? ↓
