Phalarope and terns

The 4th weekend of September at Imazu:

6 Whiskered Terns,  クロハラアジサシ


Young birds with brown scaly markings, already moulting





Common Magpie, カササギ




On to Itoshima, where a Red-necked Phalarope, アカエリヒレアシシギ was taking a bath





Also at the same location: Black-faced Spoonbill, クロツラヘラサギ. Had he just arrived? Maybe not, I've seen a single bird here on another day this summer.



And 1 Spotted Redshank, ツルヒギ. Other waders had just been chased off by a raptor



Looking for color, Higambana 彼岸花, Red Spider Lily (Amaryllis) along a country road.










With this last splash of fire-red the hot days will be over soon.
