October Dunlins

Dunlin

There were a few Dunlin on the beach in Oshamanbe…

Whether these were part of the small wintering flock there or others just passing through I don’t know.

Wader season is in full swing. At the weekend I saw Common Greenshank, Green Sandpiper, Terek Sandpiper, lots of Red-necked Stint and these 2 common species…

Dunlins poking around

The Dunlins were poking around in the port again…

Weird to see them feeding on concrete.

The Russians…

I often photograph Dunlins in winter: one flock visits the same general area every year. The flock had been declining in number sadly, only about 21 or so this year. One shows flags indicating it was ringed in the far northeast of Russia, in Kamchatka.

Dunlin

I hope the numbers recover.

A dark snowy late Sunday afternoon

Black-throated Diver

The same (?) diver a couple of hours later as it was getting dark: R5 and DXO saved the shot…

The port was very quiet: just a few Scaup, a single Goldeneye, hardly any gulls even. The flock of Dunlin was poking around at least.

A pair of winter waders

Sanderling

Waders are scarce in Hokkaido in winter but one port near Oshamambe has a small overwintering flock of Sanderling and another port has a small flock of Dunlin…

The Dunlin and Red-necked Stints were in a corner of the beach picking food from the rotting flotsam and jetsam.
