Finally some birds

This month was cut in half by the typhoon. It was good. The weather became much nicer. Finally the humid hot days are over. The cool autumn breeze prevails. Skin problems are getting better. However today... it seems so hot again 💦 The migrating waders and shorebirds are coming and going. Locations are changing, when water-locked fields dry up or flow over with wild plants. Weeding is important. An abandoned place was cleaned up, so it's possible to walk there again. All right, but I'm missing out on some birds it seems...

A Eurasian Skylark, ヒバリ acting like a wader in a mostly dried up field. There was nobody else..



Around the corner just some resident birds.  
Great Egret, ダイサギ  Green Sandpiper, クサシギ
 and Common Sandpiper, イソシギ -  The latter being the smallest.





A few Terek Sandpipers, ソリハシシギ chasing each other, looking for small snails?





Ahh! One is different. A Broad-billed Sandpiper, キリアイ






In the woods where the caterpillars live: Oriental Cuckoo, ツツドリ







A flock of Minivets stopped by.リュウキュウサンショクイ  Sanshokui




Japanese Pepper, サンショウ  Sansho. I ate it. It's spicy! I could still taste it after an hour.. My throat went piririii



The Red Spider Lilies started coming out, ヒガンバナ
The spectacular Ageha butterflies as well. カラスアゲハ, Chinese peacock butterfly (Karasu Ageha)



In the usual moth corner:  ユウマダラエダシャク, Yumadara Edashaku,



A warbler, but which one?


And that was before the typhoon
