MPNR boardwalk  (1D MKIV + 800mm)

Couldn't find this flag combination here http://www.shorebird-network.net ... yways-leg-flags.pdf

Does anyone know where this is from ?

Stonechat

It's probably from Kyushu, Japan.

Kyushu !   

Thankyou, Stonechat !

I think the combination may be Blue over Yellow (the yellow slightly discoloured). According to the link posted by Stonechat, this would be from Bohai Bay, China; the angled flag apparently indicates this was flagged at Cangzhou. I understand that Bohai is a major stop-over site for this species.

ajohn, you are right as the flag of Kyushu is on the left leg. According the photo, flags are on the right.
