August 20th, We just came back to Fukuoka, after a break from the heat in the cooler mountains up north. The atmosphere has changed. The days are still hot and muggy, but mornings are a bit cooler and the occasional thunder and rain shower in the afternoon make life in the city more bearable. Autumn has come. A short ride through the fields in the west produced a few migrants.
Black-winged Stilt, セイタカシギ. Just one bird in the field.
2 Wood Sandpipers, タカブシギ appeared after a few minutes
At another field some Terek Sandpipers, ソリハシシギ and one more Wood Sandpiper, タカブシギwere feeding together. At ease, but a bit skitterish.
A little down the road some Greensanks, アオアシシギ.
Then there were about 10 Pacific Golden Plovers, ムナグロ in a dry field, that matches their plumage so well, they can easily be overlooked.
After the summer we can see you big eyes again. So pretty.
Fluffy Gold
You look much better with a green background!
