トウネン(2025/9/5滋賀県)
台風の雨で増水し中洲が水没。
わずかに残った浅瀬に集まったトウネン達(ハマシギ2含む)。一度にこれだけのトウネンは久しぶり。
90年代の琵琶湖大渇水以来かも。シギチの集まる環境を守りたいものです。

A group of birds with white chests and black backs & wings stand on one leg while standing in the mud while sleeping. A group nap!
These Black-necked Stilts are celebrating #worldshorebirdsday by taking a nap together. Sounds like a good idea to me.

A mostly brown and white killdeer standing in profile at water’s edge. The red eye and two black neck bands are easily visible.
Someone mentioned #WorldShorebirdsDay. This killdeer is from yesterday. Hope you’re having a weekend. #Birds #Photography #Nature

Great to see the Grey Phalarope at Hayling Island Oysterbeds, Hampshire today. Knot, Whimbrel, Oystercatchers, Ringed Plover and Dunlin were other highlights. #WorldShorebirdsDay #BirdsSeenIn2025 #Birds #UKWildlife #UKBirding
Sound ON 🔉For #WorldShorebirdsDay, feast your ears on this #ASMR moment: a Marbled Godwit in care enjoying a special platter of its favorite treats. Staff and volunteers serve up small pieces of Night Smelt, krill, and mealworms to make mealtime extra tasty.

2 brownish birds are looking for dinner by wading through what's left of an outgoing wave at the beach.
Happy #WorldShorebirdsDay. Willets are doing some beach wading to celebrate. #birds 🪶

Pairs of Southern African Water Thick-knee are common on the shores of the Zambezi River at Victoria Falls, along with Panafrican Pied Wagtail (Motacilla aguimp ssp. vidua) & Bushveld Helmeted Guineafowl coming to drink. Also saw Holub's Weaver. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #WorldShorebirdsDay #birds 12/25
Lapwings abound on shores of River Zambezi especially White-crowned but also Southern Wattled (Vanellus senegallus ssp. lateralis) & Crowned & Blacksmith here with Cape Starling & Nile Crocodile, tho lower pix taken at Hwange National Park. #BirdsSeenIn2025 #WorldShorebirdsDay #rivers #birds 11/25
Not sure if this qualifies as a shorebird. Collared Pratincole (Glareola pratincola). On the ground it acts like a plover. In the air like a tern. And it has the bill of a chicken. 😄 #BirdingHungary #pratincoles #WorldShorebirdsDay2025 #WorldShorebirdsDay #shorebirds #birds
Terek Sandpiper (Xenus cinereus). Lots at Mai Po Nature Reserve in Hong Kong but just couldn't get a decent photo. Best I could manage. Behind... shaped like a godwit but coloured like an Asian Dowitcher. Somebody help me out. 😃 #WorldShorebirdsDay #WorldShorebirdsDay2025 #sandpipers

The perpetual motion machine known as the Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) 😄 #BirdingHungary #WorldShorebirdsDay #WorldShorebirdsDay2025 #sandpipers #waders
Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) The specific epithet is because it was once thought to be a race of the Common Ringed Plover. 😄 #BirdingHungary #plovers #waders #WorldShorebirdsDay #WorldShorebirdsDay2025
Juvenile Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres). Hungary. #BirdingHungary #WorldShorebirdsDay #WorldShorebirdsDay2025 #waders #shorebirds #turnstones
Wilson's Plover (Anarhynchus wilsonia) with its big, honkin beak. 😄 Florida. #BirdingFlorida #WorldShorebirdsDay #WorldShorebirdsDay2025 #waders #plovers
Every year, more than 1.5M shorebirds touch down in the inner Bay of Fundy — one of the most important stopover areas in the world.
This place is a lifeline for these tiny travellers, giving them the food and rest they need. Now, it’s finally on track for stronger protection.

Field sketches of a Curlew at Old Moor RSPB a few days ago, with colour added later. Not seen many autumn birds here so it was nice to study this one in the morning sunshine. Cheers #WorldShorebirdsDay #BirdArt #Birding
