The weather was clear, cool in the early morning, warming up to nearly hot. Before the zeppelin flew over it all looked promising. There were a few hundred Godwits, between Whimbrels and Curlews at the back.
Bar-tailed Godwit, オオソリハシシギ
With many Whimbrels, チュウシャクシギ...
...and some Grey Plovers, ダイセン
As the tide came in and the water rose...
Many Sand Plovers had turned a nice summer orange.
Lesser Sand Plover, メダイチドリ
Again, I didn't get the chance to find the slightly bigger ones but I have these images below of a plover with longer legs...
??? Greater Sand Plover, オオメダイチドリ ???
Chibi. Definitely the smaller Lesser Sand Plover, メダイチドリ
2 Long-billed Dowitchers, オオハシシギ
