It felt very autumnal today...................
We were in the Yakumo/Oshamanbe area and there were still a few waders around. Dunlin were in several places..............
And there were also 2 Spotted Redshank, a Common Sandpiper and a lone Grey-tailed Tattler........
Whooper Swan, various winter duck, Great Crested and Black-necked Grebe. Great Egret, Hawfinch were around as were various raptors. There were several Peregrine at Yakumo but none came close enough for a decent shot.
This Osprey was late in the season..............
I counted seven species of gull including Kittiwake as well as the first Glaucous and Vega Gulls of the season. There were quite a few Glaucous Winged Gulls too.............
Autumn is well underway, hopefully one or two interesting things will turn up..............
Great series of shorebird shots, Stuart, and a nice variety of species.
ReplyDeleteNice waders and I'd be happy with that peregrine shot. Still haven't seen an osprey around here for yonks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Russell, surprised to hear you don't get many Ospreys down there............
DeleteAll the waders look great on a clean beach. Our ospreys are arriving now...
ReplyDeleteNot so clean................it must be pretty bad in HK then!
