You’re doing some great bird photography Takami!
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed these images Maria!
It’s always lovely to see your visits 🙂
Oh this Sandpiper takes the photo session seriously 🙂 He is probably waiting for the tide to go out. Beautiful photograph, Takami!
He was one serious photo model 🙂 Yes, he was patiently waiting for the tide to recede, and then went off in search for lunch 😀 Thank you as always for your kind words Inese ❤ ❤
❤
Very beautiful. I just wonder what the bird is thinking. 🙂 Thank You sharing this photo with us.
Have a good day!
Hello Matti,
Thank you for your comment! I’m happy you like this small Common Sandpiper bird. He is small in size, but very resilient 🙂 I also wonder what he’s thinking…🤔 Maybe thinking of his next meal 😊
Really like this simple shot. Looks like it consists mainly of grey and brown hues, yet there is a certain kind of ‘pop’ about this photo. The lone bird stands out and it looks like he’ wondering…maybe wondering what to eat next 🙂 Hope you are well, Takami 🙂
Hello Mabel,
Thanks much for stopping by! 🙂
I’m glad you appreciated this little guy and that you enjoyed the shot. As you said, it’s simple with toned-down colours. But the simplicity hides some interesting moments – in my opinion 😀
This is a Common Sandpiper, a very small (around 20cm) wader/shorebird and one of the few that live in Japan all-year long. The winds were strong on this day, and I was amazed how he kept his balance and focus as he searched for food!
I hope you are doing well too, my friend ❤ ❤
カッコ良い!!
日活映画を思い出しましたよ~:D
日本人て、一匹狼とか孤高の人とか好きですよね!!私も好きXD!!!
群れるより一匹に美学を感じる日本人ですから、日本の鳥もそうなのかな~ウヒヒ!!XD
Nasukoさま🌸
こんにちは!ありがとうございます❤️
”日活映画”を思い出して頂いてとっても嬉しいです:D
私自身よくも悪くも(!?)子どもの頃から頑固で人と群れることを好まず「一匹狼女子」のような性格ですので、一羽で堂々としているイソシギを見かけた瞬間、勝手に親近感がわいてしまいました(笑)
もちろん、世界の美しい鳥が沢山居るのですが、日本の鳥も負けてはいません!!
What a perfect moment you have captured!
Thank you Sylvie ❤ 🙂
I am happy you liked this moment with the Common Sandpiper. A tiny, but strong bird 🙂
🙂
Another exquisite photo, Takami. You have such a gift for finding the perfect subjects and moments, but I would guess it takes a lot of work, studious observation, and patience. ❤
Thank you Carol! ❤
It does take patience and more patience (plus a humble heart/open mind) to find the right moment. But, I've also learned that if I "let go" of my own personal ego, then Nature really is right there, waiting to be observed.
By the way, this little fellow is a Common sandpiper, the only sandpiper who stays in Japan all year-round:

Such powerful and lovely insights about the interplay of humility, nature, and art, Takami. (And thank you for sending a link!)
Beautiful shot. 🙂
Thank you Rob!
Really glad you could stop by 🙂
🙂
Aww…. he needs a buddy!🐥
Thank you Jill 🙂
He did look a little lonely from the crowd of herons and cormorants. But another sandpiper did join afterwards 😀
Have a great day. 😎
so beautiful
Thank you ❤
Excellent photo! What a beautiful bird.
Thank you Mr. Nico! 🙂

Most photographers dismiss him as a common bird (how rude!), but I say there is nothing “common” about all of nature’s beautiful creations. I thought his yellow webbed feet were charming too 🙂
Yes indeed! He does not look very common to me and you’re right all God’s creatures are special! Peace and blessings to ya.
Many thanks again and God bless 🙂
Haha, he does look quite triumphant on top of his stump.
Thank you Josh!
He may be a “common” sandpiper, but nothing was uncommon about him in my humble opinion. I loved his yellow webbed feet, LOL 😀 🙂
Wow, he is balancing so well on those tips of wood! Great capture, Takami!
Thank you Donna!
I agree, he was quite the master at balancing himself, even though it was a windy morning. I also loved the yellow colouring of his webbed feet 🙂 😀
A delightful little guy, Takami! Hugs on the wing.
Thank you Teagan ❤
This little fellow is a Common sandpiper – the only sandpiper who stays in Japan throughout the entire year. Although "common" I daresay he is very charming 😀
Wonderful shot! Would you happen to know what its name is?
