There was a Short-toed Eagle ahead, taking flight to be replaced by another ST Eagle. A few Lesser Kestrels by the dyke wall, then a Black-eared Wheatear at some cattle fencing. What is killing them? Immediately north of it I found another Short-toed Eagle and a very cooperative close-range Long-legged Buzzard.

Seaside Sparrows were singing on both sides and occasionally popped up to give us a view before diving deep back into the Spartina grass, hopefully getting ready to nest. Seaside Sparrow. At the end of the road, we found two Nelson’s Sparrows who quickly flew out to a tiny bit of land in the channel. Eastern Meadowlark.

Anyone with more than a couple of hours to kill could easily make a quick birding foray out from the airport. There is always the chance of an over-flying raptor with Brahminy Kite and White-bellied Sea-eagle commonly seen. My personal list for Paser Ris runs to 75 birds over 15 visits that average out at around 25 species per outing.
