Black-tailed Godwit, オグロシギ

A near-threatend migrating bird that covers great distances. It might fly from Japan to Australia in just under a week. I felt lucky to see these magnificant 2 up close, so took too many photos - again.

  

With stilts in the back 

First there was just 1 bird, a day later the 2nd one flew in. They seem close.
