Dark stints
f11 on a dark Monday…
More stints
Every beach seems to have some in this season…
Some August stints
Not much birding done recently but there were a couple of Red-necked Stints on one of the local beaches yesterday…
A local Osprey
There were several Ospreys fishing at the mouth of one of the local rivers…
All very quiet
We looked around the rice fields a couple of days hoping to see a few waders and saw precisely zero…
That’s about it then
The migration season has fizzled out. Not a vintage one this year…
We checked the rice fields outside town for waders but nothing doing. Just the above Pheasant (which is fairly scarce at least).
No waders or anything else of real interest on the coast although there were a few Ospreys fishing offshore.
Some more JTs
in the early early morning the park belongs to the thrushes…
Some more Maskeds
Common birds in interesting poses…
Some more park birds
Also in the park were 3 species of woodpecker, Narcissus Flycatcher, Oriental and Common Cuckoo but sadly not any interesting migrants.
Although the regular summer visitors are interesting enough…
