"This is the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) in the Kasai Rinkai Park in Toyko Bay. A large park with wetlands, surrounded by city and full of birds (and bird hides). I met quite a few Japanese birders here. They were very helpful with IDs. The bird looks quite a lot like our black-fronted dotterel. Bird #48 in 2023."

Hello,
Does anyone know what the large flocks/gaggles of birds that fly south in the mornings along the Rangituhi/Colonial Knob ridge line are?
I thought they maybe geese but they are to far away to confirm.
Does anyone no where they come from and where they are going?

Poll: Is the letterbox obsolete?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz
