Pied Avocet, as known as one of the few migratory and winter birds in Japan has come fly to an after-harvest lotus paddy field in Inashiki city in Ibaragi prefecture. As it is very rare to watch here, so many wild bird photographers were shooting.

Mandarin duck、オシドリ
The species was once widespread in East Asia, but large-scale exports and the destruction of its forest habitat have reduced populations in eastern Russia and China to below 1,000 pairs in each country; Japan, however, is thought to still hold some 5,000 pairs. The Asian populations are migratory, overwintering in lowland eastern China and southern Japan.(Cited reference :Wikipedia)
According to my observation, it is obvious that the number of migrating birds that come here from the north area is getting down every year.I don't know the reasons why, but one reason may be will climate-changing such as high temperature, rainfall here, especially in this year.

Daurian redstart:ジョウビタキ
It is found in Manchuria, southeastern Russia, northeastern Mongolia, central China, and Korea.
It is migratory; P. a. aureus winters in Korea, Japan,
southeast coastal China, and Taiwan, and P. a. leucopterus in
northeast India and parts of Southeast Asia.
Daurian redstarts favor open forests, forest edges, agricultural margins, and are also commonly found in parks and urban gardens. They are reasonably confiding and often allow humans to approach quite closely before moving off. It breeds in the summer months, with a mated pair of the nominate subspecies having been encountered in early May. (Reference cited Wikipedeia)
