We headed north today but it was a bit quiet. There were a few Buff-bellied Pipits passing through and a couple of Red-necked Stints in summer plumage. But not much else…
A lull
Tag: Red-necked Stint
Back in town
Back in town, these were taken with my old 100-400 and a 1.4 T/C. Not so many keepers with this old lens so much easier to sort through………….
The only wader species around was the ubiquitous Red-necked Stint. A flock of about 15 of them.
Some of you may have the image in your head that Japan is a clean ordered society.
Enough
And that’s all. A great afternoon with a group of stints. See you next year hopefully.
Almost the end
Yet more stints from last Monday.
Stintathon continued
More from Monday
Some more stint close-ups.
And so on
So photogenic………….
Runners
I tried some high shutter speeds to get pics of running stints……
And more Stints
I took a lot of shots as you can see.
The afternoon continued
I never tire of watching them poke around in the quiet corners of a beach……..
An afternoon with the Stints
I spent 2 or 3 hours on a local beach sat on a discarded buoy with a very tame flock of Red-necked Stints…………….
I was hoping to find a Little Stint among them but failed.
Back near Hakodate
Lots of Stints near Hakodate too…………
And the other common passage wader……………
