Waders and shorebirds in the west

Not many species and nothing exciting, but this is what I saw in the first week of May around the fields and the rivers in the west

May 5th: Following a Whimbrel, チュウシャクシギ was 1 Great Knot, オバシギ



Far away, but we don't see so many here, so I wanted to report it



Singing out loud; Oriental Reed Warbler, オオヨシキリ





The parents of Bull-headed Shrikes, モズ were very busy looking after their chicks





Feeding the kids? Meadow Bunting, ホオジロ



A White Wagtail with the facial markings of an Amur WW. But somehow I'm not sure
ホオジロハクセキレイ?



One of about 10  Little Ringed Plover, コチドリ busy defending its ground



Peeking out of the grass was a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, ウズラシギ





Suddenly stepping out in front of me  Common Sandpiper, イソシギ

And that was it.
