Uzura special; Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, ウズラシギ

I like the Japanese name Uzura shigi for Sharp-tailed Sandpiper. And this post is all about one.
These birds fly thousands of miles. All the way from New Zealand / Australia to the Arctic Tundras.
We see them often in north Kyushu in spring, when they stop by for a feed and a rest.

  

 

Great bird!
