Saga, at the northern tip of the Ariake Sea 2

The flashy and sensational flight show of dunlins , interspersed with skirmishing spoonbills proved very entertaining.

Black-faced Spoonbill, クロツラヘラサギ, struggling to keep their balance while fighting for a dry possy on this lonesome island of steel pipes. 

Dunlin, ハマシギ

Don't they look happy in their breeding plumes?

Noticed a single Bar-tailed Godwit, オオソリハシシギ. But actually there were 2

Go go Dunlins!

Finally some rest...
