Thanks for the comments, Kestrel. The bird was flagged at Mai Po on 22 January 2011.

To be clear, did the Red-necked Stint you saw at Yalu Jiang have Hong Kong leg flags? This would be a significant sighting, because we have never had a stint resighted at this site previously. Could you tell whether the leg flags were engraved?

Thanks for your reply~
Yes，i thought it is most likely White and yellow flag combination，you may check it on the attached pic，the flag on the uper leg looks like white，and the flag on the lower leg looks like yellow falg defiled by mud,i don't know whether there is a engraved flag.

Yes, I agree that this is a HK flag.
The fact that the flags are above and below the knee suggest that this is an engraved flag on a bird trapped this spring (non-engraved flags have usually been fitted with both above the knee). The apparent freshness of the flag supports this. If you have any clearer photos thiese might allow individual ID, but I realise that it will usually be very difficult to get the detail on a stint.

Even without knowing the individual ID this is a significant observation. We have had only three previous resightings of HK-flagged Red-necked Stint - one in Japan (two sightings, but probably involving the same bird), one in Thailand and one in Indonesia. This is the first record of a HK-flagged Stint in mainland China. Thank you reporting this bird.

Please submit the details to the Australian Wader Study Group for inclusion in the database for the flyway.

Both the two flags with alphanumeric,but failed to read the alphanumeric,At Shuangtaizi NNR,40°50′N,121°33′31″E,on 3 May 2012,By BAI Qingquan(bqqwhite@163.com)

Thank you for reporting these sightings from northeast China. I knew about the resightings of L9 already. Both L8 and L9 were flagged on the same night, 22 March 2012. L9 was seen in Hong Kong until 31 March, and then in Liaoning from 6-11 May. L8 was seen in Hong Kong until 28 April, but this report is the first sighting since then. L8 is a first-summer bird, which may explain why it has not continued further north to breed.
A shame that you were unable to read the engraved flag on the bird at Shuangtaizi, but thank you for the sighting, at another site on the Yellow Sea. These results show the importance of the Yellow Sea as a stopover for birds from Hong Kong - all resightings of Hong Kong-flagged Grey Plover have come from the Yellow Sea, mostly from Liaoning.

Thank you for the photo, kestrel.

Yes, we have flagged Great Knot. There are two birds with engraved white over yellow leg flags, and several more with plain flags.
Author: kestrel    Time: 23/07/2012 16:29

I think i saw a Great knot with plain white over yellow flags on 24th April，2012.at Site 5 of yalujiang NNR.
and i saw Grey plover ‘L8’ again on 21st July,2012 at 'Ash pond(39°51′34″N ，124°11′31″E)',the same site as it had been seen last time.
Author: kestrel    Time: 27/08/2012 09:29

Have you ever banded a Grey Plover with alphanumeric J6？

Hi Kestrel,
Yes, we have flagged a Grey Plover with the combination J6, and I agree that this appears to be that bird.
J6 was flagged on 9th March 2012, at Mai Po. This is the first resighting of this bird, and reinforces the importance of this part of the Yellow Sea for Hong Kong's Grey Plovers.
Thank you again for reporting this sighting.

This thread is resightings of HK birds in Mainland (as mentioned in the Chinese text).

Might be more "centralised" to post local sightings under this thread:

Hi Kestrel
You may be interested to know that the Grey Plover L8, which you sighted in Liaoning in June and July this year, has returned to Mai Po - I saw the bird at Mai Po yesterday, 18th November.
Author: kestrel    Time: 20/11/2012 11:13

That' s very interesting news!
The last HK Grey plover i have seen this season is on Sep 29 with plain flags at site2(39°49′30″N，124°06′12″E) of YLJ.and another one with engraved flag that failed to id was also at site2 on Sep 14th.
Grey plover is one of the important species both in northern and southern migration in Yalujiang Estuary.the Max count 3700 was in early Sep during southern migration of 2012.and last weekend there are still hundreds of grey plovers remained even though the tidal flat will frozen soon.
