The water terrace of Ishikawajima Park, located along the Sumida River school river.
At low tide, when you look closely at the rocky shores at the water, you can see the ruddy turnstone of the Shigi family moving around and foraging.
It is said that it is a "travel bird" observed on the way to the northern country of the breeding ground around May and on the way to the southern country of the wintering area around September. I hear that the origin of the Japanese name is that the summer feather is regarded as the gloss of the pattern of Kyojo's kimono.
By the way, young bird winter feathers are pale reddish brown and have a plain color.
In addition to surface foraging, it seems to catch small animals lurking underneath by turning or shifting pebbles, soil, shells, and seaweed lumps with beaks. The English name is "Turnstone" due to feeding habits.
