More Wednesday stints
Not much else posing for photos sadly…
A sunny Wednesday
A sunny day yesterday but not much to photograph; just a couple of tame Red-necked Stints.
A disappointing night away…
The weather was awful, I didn’t get any nice photos and acid reflux burned my throat quite badly…
The spoonbills were still around but way off…

The best shots I manged of the Dollarbird were with the 600 f/11.
I didn’t really get any BIFs I was happy with.
The last morning it had apparently gone…
On the way back there were Marsh Sandpiper and Falcated Duck at Yakumo but otherwise a bit quiet.

There were also Japanese Grosbeak, Siberian Blue Robin, Brown Dipper and Hawfinch. Flyovers included White-tailed Eagle, Osprey and Eastern Marsh Harrier.

Much nicer than the dull juveniles we usually see of these species…

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.

It was still around the next morning but it either stayed on the wires or flew off in the wrong direction for a photo…
At least the light was better than the day before.
