Still a handful of waders around…
LOTS of Great Egret, a few winter ducks…a nice juvenile Goshawk near my apartment, a few unidentifiable things flitting around in the thinning vegetation…
Some lingerers
Tag: Mongolian Plover
Last of the beachcombers
I imagine these will be the last waders i see for a while…
Some Mongolians
There were 6 of these on one beach…
A ‘new’ beach…
A small beach which we have mostly ignored over the years had several waders…including 15 or so very jumpy Eastern Curlew…
August ends
Wow that was a hot one. And it looks set to continue into September.
Yesterday was bearable in Yakumo; a bit of a cool breeze and under 30 at least. Lots of waders around including Great Knot and Long-toed Stint but not much posong for photos.
2 Common Terns flew past at Yakumo. I don’t see many terns in Hokkaido so this was a nice surprise.
Some Plovers…
Some plovers were on the beaches yesterday…
Back near home
Pretty quiet near Hakodate yesterday…but a few waders were on the beach.
