Migrants in the west, part 2

It's midday now, September 3rd. I'm driving back from Itoshima to Imazu. The fields glitter in the bright sun shine. I should not take any photos anymore. But I finally meet some waders.


In just a second, before they all scutter to the back. No time to adjust camera settings.
A Dunlin, ハマシギ, Red-necked Stints,トウネン and a Common Snipe, タシギ



 2 Briefly appeared again



At the far side: 2 Terek Sandpipers, ソリハシシギ. I cannot get close to them



Coincidence 😅



At the river bank, thousands of crabs, laughing at 2 Common Greenshanks, アオアシシギ



Grey-tailed Tattler,キアシシギ



The flock of Golden Plovers returned
Pacific Golden Plover, ムナグロ



And... my first ducks of the season:
Common Teal, ホシハジロ  and Tufted Duck, キンクロハジロ  Greater Scaup, スズガモ
But actually at least one them was here the whole summer...



At last a field with 10 Black-winged Stilts,セイタカシギ. I was worried, but they are here!
2 Bar-tailed Godwits, オオソリハシシギ joined the party.


More later
