Mai Po early morning on the 16th of April
Visit to the scrape very early morning yielded the following birds (may be an id confirmation would be needed)
Pintail/Swinhoe Snipe 1
Oriental Pratincole x12+
Little Curlew x3 (?)
Oriental Plover x1 (?)
record shots of the curlews and plover for validation of the identity

Both look good to me for the Little Curlew and the plover. Congratulations!

Thanks a lot Tung.
Interested to know if the other plovers seen on Sunday are still there... That was the only Oriental Plover in Pond 16-17 yesterday morning.
Probably the Curlews did an express passage, they were there for 10 minutes feeding at around 7.15am. They came from the left (south-west?) - when I was in Hide 1) and left to the right (north-east?).
