Title: Spoon-billed Sandpiper
Post by Justin_Jansen on Mar 26^th, 2003, 8:16pm

A friend of mine Roef Mulder had today at mai Po a Spoon-billed Sandpiper from the hide. Also here Lesser Sand-plover, Sanderling, Turnstone and there was a group of 150 Black-faced Spoonbills!

All the best,

Justin Jansen, the Netherlands

Some additional info;
today there were a lot more waders than the previous days; besides the Spoonbilled there were 2 Sharptaileds, 2 Tereks, 1 Turnstone, 3 Sanderling, c150 Greater Sand & 1 Lesser Sand Plover, c30 Redneckeds and many Great Knots. Also 5 Little Terns.
Yesterday the (wntering) Nordmanns Greenshank was at the scrape, very close! Also at least 2 Long-billed Dowitchers and 2 Oriental Pratincoles.
The number of BFSpoonbills at the scrape has risen to 150 this afternoon, they will migrate further very soon probably.
