Saga part 3: Far Eastern Curlews, ホウロクシギ

Continued from the previous post. Not only small birds, as the photo below might insinuate.




Early morning a whooping 500 Far Eastern Curlews, ホウロクシギ flew in. I have never seen this many!





They all wanted space and were often bickering at each other.

I was still in the neighborhood the following day, so I dropped by to see what it was like on a sunny day. The colors came out a lot better, but the shadows were deep. The patterns of feathers were not as well-defined as on the previous, mostly overcast day.



This day, the 9th, somebody discovered a Sanderling, ミユビシギ among the Dunlins, ハマシギ
Quite a feat, in this mass of grey feathers
