The first looks like a Common Sandpiper, but difficult to tell because the picture is small.
You are right with the other two: Black-crowned Night Heron and Chinese Pond Heron. Author: thinfor Time: 15/09/2009 23:55
I think it's a common sandpiper (磯鷸) too. Author: butter Time: 16/09/2009 11:22
Thanks, pals! BTW, in that area I've also seen two 'thinner' shorebirds (compared to the common sandpiper) fighting ... for a while only ... but I wasn't fast enough to take a photo nor to identify them. ... besides, birds fighting, dragonflies did the same just over my head, wow! They hit each other so hard that I could hear the colliding sound > tuk ... tuk ...
