Title: Impressive Curlew Sandpiper!
Post by Paul Leader on Apr 16^th, 2004, 10:53am

Last week when wader ringing at Mai Po we retrapped a Curlew Sandpiper that had originally been ringed at Mai Po in April 1992, i.e. twelve years ago! It was an adult when ringed so is at least 13 years old. On that basis it has flown over 250,000 km! Now that's impressive!
