The Eastern Water Rail and the Ruddy-breasted Crake were again seen in the same pool at dusk ang with at least 2 Painted Snipe.
I also disturbed a Nightjar, which I presume was Savannah from one of the pathways after it was dark. There were also at least 5 Bluethroat on Long Valley.
Even more wonderful was the sight of over 200 Wood Sandpipers, 20 Common Snipe, 6 Green Sandpipers, 2 Common Sandpiper and 3 Avocet making use of the HKBWS-managed shallow water habitat. Aw onderfl sight , and congratulations to all involved in this project.
Cheers
