It's nice to see the Curlew Sandpipers back at Mai Po. Are they the first migrants to turn up and this the normal time for them? Neil

Hi Neil,

I think they are the first group in this spring. I saw 10 from boardwalk on Monday. Also, we usually have the first Curlew Sandpipers in about mid-March in spring.

Hi Neil,

I think it's Grey - note the size, not much smaller than the Bh Gulls really.

I tracked down the little group of Curlew Sandpipers at dusk on Thursday evening and managed to get this record image from about 40 metres. Neil.
