Mai Po Boardwalk - 10th May 2016 Curlew Sandpiper "CC"
Curlew Sandpiper CC is a very interesting bird. We trapped and flagged this bird at Mai Po on 6th May 2016, only four days before this sighting. But the bird was already carrying a metal ring, having been previously trapped in Malaysia. From the number on the ring we have been able to trace this as a bird that was ringed at Kapar Power Station, Kuala Lumpur, on 23rd March 2016, 44 days before it was recaptured at Mai Po. This is our first ever recovery of a bird ringed in Malaysia. We added the flag in the hope that we will get more information about the migration of this bird, which can be shared not only in Hong Kong but also with the Malaysian ringing scheme.
