If you plan to visit Mai Po over the coming week or so, its worth checking out the cleared area inside Pond #17b. The freshly exposed muddy floor is attracting good numbers of Yellow Wagtails, Wood and Common Sandpipers and a few Snipe. It's also potentially a good site for Pipits when they start to arrive.
