Saga, part 4, Around the fields

 A visit to Saga is not complete without a stop at the Lotus fields.


After seeing so many in the morning, I felt exhilerated to find a few in a greener environment.
Red-necked Stints, トウネン



Below with a Long-toed Stint, ヒバリシギ







Red-necked Stints, トウネン again, at the end of the day





Finally I found what I hoped to see: Temminck's Stint, オジロトウネン









At the same time: 1 lonesome Dunlin, ハマシギ



It was getting late. Around 12 Stilts were gathered in one corner.
Black-winged Stilts, セイタカシギ





Patrolling the canals: 2 Whiskered Terns, クロハラアジサシ





The next morning, a sunny day. Black-browed Reed Warbler, コヨシキリ were very vocal, but not easy to spot.



Just 1 bird among other Starlings: Common Starling, ホシムクドリ







Sand Martin, ショウドウツバメ





It hopped out of one field, right into the next. Richard's Pipit?, マミジロタヒバリ?


More than I expected.
