Title: Unsure sandpiper?
Post by Neil on Apr 22^nd, 2006, 2:55pm

Taken at Mai Po by a friend of mine earlier this week. Should be a Grey Plover and Greenshank behind. Not sure which sandpiper it is?

For the sake of discussion. On the whole, this sandpiper is a wood sandpiper, despite its supercilium is not too conspicuous and its size in the photo looks too small. ::)
