22 spp of waders at Mai Po (without going to the Boardwalk) this morning, plus Yellow Bittern 12 BFSpoonbills and 2 Striated Heron.

Also a Yellow-billed Grosbeak near the warden's hut.

There is a stint pond along the road that runs parallel to the casuarinas.

This had RN and Long-toed Stint, KP, LRP Greater Sand and a Swintail Snipe.

There were also lots of juvenile Azure-winged Magpies about.

Cheers
