August Migrant Shorebirds

August Migrant Shorebirds



I visited Daijyugarami, Saga prefecture, last Friday to see what birds had started migrating through.

The highlights were a solitary juvenile Asian Dowitcher, a Long-billed Dowitcher in breeding plumage, a Red Knot also in breeding plumage, a Broad-billed Sandpiper, a Long-toed Stint, four Black-faced Spoonbill, one Saunders’s Gull, a few Black-tailed Godwit and plenty of Great Knot.
