Title: Waders at Mai Po today　今日在米埔的涉禽
Post by Neil on Oct 19^th, 2005, 10:44pm

Today was probably the best for weather and sighting waders in Deep Bay this year ( I've been going out every week since March). Although the tide was supposed to be a 2.1 meter which should have fallen short of the the hide , it actually came in past the hide which was moving around a bit.  It came in very slowly so the birds came in and hung around in front for about half an hour , instead of flying straight over.  When the tide dropped it also was very slow and the birds came back early and stood around about 30 -50 meters in front of the hide. Only 5 of us in the hide, including 2 visitors. Not many species and nothing unusual but nice to see. Tomorrow may be worth a visit as well. Neil

I had to work unfortunately, so I missed it. (Actually the camera is having the viewfinder repaired)

The birds came closer possible due to the lack of all the motor drives - they love Neil's silent camera.

Hope to see you all next week

Bob

PS: Neil has your tripod got one short leg ;D ;D
