Went with one other member of BBG

Gray Heron 1
Little Ringed Plover 1 male/female pair, calling and foraging together on rocky sandbar
Black Kite 1 soaring
Domestic Pigeon 1 flying
Barn Swallow 5 flying low above the river, catching insects. Also, chicks still in nests under eaves on nearby streets, and also some adults trying to build new nests under some other eaves
White Wagtail 1 foraging
Japanese Wagtail 3 foraging
Oriental Greenfinch 3 adults, and about 10 juveniles with the adults, feeding on seeds in riverside grasses, and foraging for insects (I guess) among small stones on the rocky sandbars
Adult Oriental Greenfinch:
Tree Sparrow 3 foraging. Many, many others cheeping in nearby trees and bushes
Carrion Crow 1 adult and 1 juvenile, foraging (for what?) along the water's edge on rocky sandbar
Once the adult fed something to the juvenile.
One additional adult cawing in nearby willow tree.
