I set out to look for the Chinese Egret yesterday morning, the 25th despite the forecast for rain. The moment I found it that rain started to come down real hard and I could not take any other photos.
When it cleared a bit I tried again, but the bird was gone... I drove around and looked everywhere.
Several Crakes crossed my path. Ruddy-breasted Crake, ヒクイナ
Skylark fledglings, ヒバリ were sitting on the concrete, barely moving when I came close.
2 Whiskered Terns, クロハラアジサシ perched on the wire near the 2 lakes
The Black-faced Spoonbills, クロツラヘラサギ quickly moved to higher ground when thunder and lightning came with more heavy rain
I wondered what I was doing here, but sometimes it cleared and a Zitting Cisticola, セッカ landed right in front of me, as if to say: Go on, you'll find it
And I did. When the tide ran out it appeared on the mudflats. Still in heavy rain, but it eventually dried up indeed, though it was much later than the weather forecast had predicted.
The Spoonbills also came to the mudflats and got into a feeding frenzy. Chinese Egret joined them, but didn't catch any fish.
He stood there just watching and thinking: How do you guys do this?
