A nice collection of records.

May I ask if the waders and shorebirds are seen on the turf or just flying by?

kmike

Hi Louis

The waders are on the turf and in the drained are of the ponds.

Please not this site is not open to the public. It can still be viewed from the walkway that leads from the northeast corner of Terminal 2 towards the Marriott Hotel and Asiaworld Expo.
