Birdies at Miri Marina Beach

Within the one hour slot when the kids were tied up with piano lessons, I sneaked out to Miri Marina Beach making my way through the bushes and storm drains behind the Park Everly Hotel.

Glad I did, pretty lively back there today:
1. Dusky Munia (2)
2. Chestnut Munia (6)
3. Common Tailorbird (1)
4. Common Sandpiper (5)
5. White-breasted Waterhen (4)
6. Yellow/Schrenck's Bittern (2)
7. Little Heron (6)
8. Pacific Reef Egret (both grey and white morph) (1 each)
9. Little Egret (2)
10. Chinese Egret (1)
11. Intermediate Egret (1)
12. Malaysian Plover (4)
13. Lesser/Greater Sandplover (30)
14. Kentish Plover (8)
15. Pacific Golden Plover (13)
16. Collared Kingfisher (2)
17. Zebra Dove (6)

Quite a promising site for some digiscoping work later ... no humans in the morning aside from pesky sandflies.
