Shorebirds at Higashiyoka Tideland

 The yearly autumn trip to Saga was late. Too late to see the Western Sandpiper. It was a super high tide and the birds stayed on the concrete side of the fence a long time. There were so many. All i winterplumage. Overwhelmingly grey. Once a year is not enough to build my confidence
