It was raining this morning and one of the flooded muddy fields to the north of town had some waders................
There were 2 BlackWinged Stilt. a scarce but regular 'overshoot' species to south Hokkaido and always nice to see.
In the same area was a flock of 15 or so Wood Sandpiper, one of the commonest spring passage waders...............
I've watched the two same species today at Tirant, Menorca. No pictures like those though.
ReplyDeleteHi Phil, hope you're enjoying Menorca..........
DeleteStuart, you are a blogging machine of late! Great shots of shorebirds we don't see here.
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm shocking even myself and there is still more to come. It's been a pretty intense week..........
DeleteFamiliar birds to HK birders....but nice to see in a different context.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, just wish I had a few of your Curlew Sands........
