The moment the rain stopped I went over to the river to see what was there. Patches of flowering Water Hyacinths were floating, dragged to the bay by the current. Some waders were calling. I was full of anticipation.
At high tide, on the concrete wall. Greenshanks and Tattlers, as was expected. A few Terek Sandpipers were among them.
Off to the fields. First sight: Wood Sandpiper, タカブシギ Just 1 bird
At another field, also just 1
At a deeper part of a submerged rice paddy. I could not check the colors of the legs. Was this a Marsh Sandpiper? コアオアシシギ ?
Terek Sandpipers, ソリハシシギ 7 or 8
Back to the mudflats at low tide: 2 Tereks ソリハシシギ and 1 Dunlin, ハマシギ
When the cloud-cover broke: Grey-tailed Tattler, キアシシギ about 8 birds
There was no sign of Stilts, nor Stints.
I hope to see them again later.
