From the top (22nd Nov) : Little Ringed Plover, Common Sandpiper, Little Ringed Plover, Pacific Golden Plover.
I betcha with all the concrete canals, shoplots, exlusive bungalow lots coming up in the area, very soon there won't be many waders stopping over this once fertile mudflats (huge healthy polycheate worms) of old Miri river. We might catch one or two Common Sandpiper though. No more PGPs, no more WSPs, no more LRPs, no more KPs, no more LTSs, no more RNSs, no more CRSs, no more GSs and the WBWs (15-20 observed around here back in Feb-April 2008) will have to find a new place to hang out! All the egrets too ... and the SHs.
