Red Knot stand out and even a Silver Gull head on the right! Rocks covered in shorebirds. A closer look at the rocks. An even closer look!

The bird “spent five months on Mindoro Island in the Philippines during the non-breeding season and migrated through Taiwan, the Chinese east coast, and the Korean peninsula” and on to the Russian Far East (indicating a certain lack of solidarity with Ukraine).
