A quiet week at IRRI with very few waders about apart from a few
Wood Sandpipers and
Little Ringed Plovers. The winter flock of
Whiskered Terns is now at about 100. An adult
calidus Peregrine was present all week, and on Saturday a
Brahminy Kite and a
Common Kestrel were on the main farm. The kite eventually spent most of the day quartering the fields, though I only saw the kestrel very briefly.
Adult Brahminy Kite which spent most of Saturday hunting in the fields
An adult calidus Peregrine, on the same pylons on the experimental farm as all the others. Present all week.
White-collared Kingfisher which appears to be eating a snail. An interesting choice of food for a kingfisher, there's plenty of it at least!
