I have all the permits for birdwatching in Mai Po but I find I often miss the best times due to the tides and feel rather disappointed.   
I plan to go again on coming Monday, the 14th November 2016. Please advise when and where should I go for better chance to capture the  sight of the waders. Many thanks.

I like to settle down in Mai Po Broadwalk Bird Hide  
at tide level 1.5m (Tsim Bei Tsui)  and wait for the high tide.

Thx. Derek. I think you suggest a route along the broadway before the entrance to no.107 Gate to the forbidden area. So if I come at the time of rising tide above 1.5m, I should take this way, right?

I still have some questions:
1. How about if I want to go outside gate no. 107 to those bird hides at ends of the floating bridge, should I go at times of dropping tide below 1.5m?
2. What is the optimal tide level to go to the bird hide of HKBWS?

Many thanks.
