There seems to have been an influx of Black-winged Stilts into Hokkaido. I’ve seen them in 3 locations already this spring and I know of several other local sightings. Plus they’ve also been seen further north and south…
There were 2 at Yakumo the other day in beautiful afternoon light.

Yes, very exotic to me…
