Young Shrikes are flying around. Bull-headed Shrike, モズ


On August 1st 2 juvenile Black-faced Spoonbills, クロツラヘラサギ were seen at the mudflats 





Some waders had arrived as well! Grey-tailed Tattler, キアシシギ, Terek Sandpiper, ソリハシシギ and the usual Common Greenshanks, アオアシシギ



Hardly noticeable in the foliage, Black-crowned Night Heron, ゴイサギ



A male Kingfisher, カワセミ after the rain



Just a common Oriental Turtle Dove, キジバト you'd say, but so pretty!



Mum duck and the kids 3 weeks later. They grow fast!

Lots of Eurasian Sparrows, スズメ many still relying on parents for food
