Higashiyoka on the 1st of May

Small selection of the many birds on the tidal mudflats of the Ariake Sea at Higashiyoka in Saga


Chinese Egret, カラシラサギ



Much smaller than the surrounding Great Egrets, ダイサギ



And very active





The tide didn't come in much, so the birds feeding on the water line stayed out a fair bit. 
The following 3 pictures show the Curlew Sandpiper, サルハマシギ in summer feathers.
The 2 reddish brown birds in the center.


On the left


On the left with 2 Red-necked Stints, トウネン



The search for Asian Dowitcher, シベリアオオハシシギ was on. I think I captured a few.
The plump red bird with straight bill in the center of the of the image



2 birds fast asleep


Waking up, but looking the other way...







Many Spotted Redshanks, ツルシギ had turned black now



Watch out, Spoonbills on the move


Pitch black



2 Little Terns, コアジサシ
