September sees one of my fave arrivals, for about 3 or so weeks Red Necked Stints are everywhere on the local beaches here in Hokkaido.....
All these photos taken with my trusty old 400D and 100-400L.
They like foraging in the many upturned shells on the beach.......
I tend to crouch down when taking shorebird pics so my knees always get wrecked in early autumn..........
This is the nearest I could get to an action shot..........
They are pretty tame, these photos are all taken at 400mm and are only slightly cropped.........
