Looking for Wagtails, セキレイ in Imazu on a rainy day.

After reading about the foreign wagtails, I went out to search for them in the west. It was a rainy day; I found none. But... I saw a fox! And it was wagging its tail to me 😉


Japanese fox, キツネ







A big flock of Whimbrels, チュウシャクシギ was crossing the river. When they landed, they blended in with the concrete wall. From a distant, just the bills sticking out above the water could be seen. A closer look produced one different face. An up-turned bill, rather than downwards curved caught my eye.



Can you see it?
There is one Bar-tailed Godwit, オオソリハシシギ



Towards the south, a Grey-faced Buzzard, サシバ was crying out loud. Glad the rain had stopped



Then in the evening at a busy intersection, the noise of many wagtails! Maybe 50 birds. But no foreigners, I think


The one and only Wood Sandpiper, タカブシギ in the field, would he be glad to have the place to himself?
