I changed to the 600 f/11 on the 2nd afternoon.
There was a flock of red-necked Stints in one of the ports; all in summer plumage.
A quiet week in mid to late April
A very quiet week…a few common birds only around town; just 1 Common Crossbill, Japanese Bush Warbler, Masked Bunting, Asian House Martin, Bull-headed Shrike and a few Coal Tits.
In Yakumo today there were a few waders; Kentish Plover, Common Snipe, Pacific Golden Plover and this lone Red-necked Stint being the most noteworthy.
Also around were the Greater White-fronted Geese flock, various common ducks, lots of Stonechat and my first Chestnut-cheeked Starling of the year.
Ubiquity
Even if there are no other waders around there will be these guys…
