Waders ringed in HK have Yellow-white leg-flag.

Thank you for praising my eye-sight.  This must be an exceptional rare occasion that I guess right.
On last sunday, we also get a ringed Black-faced Spoonbill.

Left leg: green-yellow-red
Right leg: red ring with letter K73 or KZ3

Yu Yat Tung can tell us more about this bird.

I forgot to thank Jemi (and others as well) for help on Mai Po outing last Sunday.  Sorry about that.

The photo posted by VKYM is a Black Kite.  I get confused at first, but I finally decided that it is a black kite on that day.  See the black eye stripe.

Another suspected bird that I have not put in is Black Bittern.  I saw a bird that looked very much like a Black Bittern.  But at this distance, it can be a Straited Heron or some other birds.  So I leave it.
