Migration continues with the arrival of
Pacific Golden Plovers and
Whiskered Terns at IRRI. The
Oriental Plovers stayed throughout the week, moving around a little in the fields of the upland farm, though only 7 were seen on Monday, and no more than 6 thereafter.
Intermediate Egrets have also arrived probably in response to all the tilling activity going on in the fields.
Oriental Pratincoles are staring to gather in large flocks, possibly preparing for the trip south. Large numbers of
Yellow Wagtails are everywhere, with a few
Grey Wagtails mixed in. There are still a few
Blue-tailed Bee-eaters around as well.
