Had two ringed waders at Olango Bird Sanctuary in Philippines today.
1 was an adult Spring Bar Tailed Godwit. It had a large White tag on its tibia, possibly also yellow tag on tarsus. Numbers were not visible.
Could this have be rung at Mai Po?

Also had an Adult moulting Great Knot (among a flock of 600-1000 spring adults) that had a metal ring on its Left Tibia and Black over White Tags on its Right Tibia. Any ideas?

I believe there were no markings on the tag for the Bar Tailed Godwit. As for the Great Knot, I came to the same conclusion. I will be visiting Olango again early next week as the waders are extremely tame and approachable at the moment. I'm on the lookout for Spoon Billed Sandpiper, Little Whimbrel, Spotted Greenshank, Oriental Plover and maybe even Bristle Thighed Curlew, all of which have the potential of turning up in spring.
