No typhoons are heading our way and the days are long and hot. El Nino should bring us rain, but it is very little. Winds prevail from the south. Migrating birds are hard to find. On the 22nd a front came through, bringing a cool breeze. But still... I cannot find many migrating birds.
The Garganeys, シマアジ are still around, 6 of them now
The duck below is a Teal, コガモ I was told. Thank you, Mr. K
And so are most others. I pointed it out now, I hope I got it right
There was the occasional Red-necked Stint, トウネン that can easily move around now that the water in the rice fields has decreased
Well well, a young F.E. Curlew flying by! ホウロクシギ
Landing on the road... and taking off again right away
3 Dunlins, ハマシギ seem content at this half-dried up paddy field. The water snails are responsible for the big gaps in the crops. The farmers surely are not happy about that, but the dunlins are!
A Long-toad Stint, ヒバリシギ again!
And here a Marsh Sandpiper, コアオアシシギ elegantly moving around, accompanied by 2 Stints
And so, I came home with a number of images of different birds. Not too bad
