Title: Common Greenshank and Mud flat question 青腳鷸

According to the tide forecast by HKO, the tide should reach 2.0m at 1321 on 19/9/2004.  However,  I arrived at the mudflat at around 1200 and waited till 1430, the tide never come close...............I think the tide was 300-400m  away from the bird hide.  Of course, no bird come close!
Did I make a mistake on intrepreting the tide or I ran out of luck?


Fortunately, this common greenshank showed its sympathy to us and wandered in front of the BH for a few minutes.
