At the Mai Po boardwalk hides, 20th April 2021

Out at the Mai Po Nature Reserve boardwalk hides today there was a fine selection of migrating birds..
None of them announced themselves as they approached within camera range, so, like me, you can work them out for yourself !

  3. Spring Waders - love them! Your birds are way ahead of ours, most over here are still in winter plumage with some (Dunlin for example) just beginning to show a bit of coloring here and there.

  4. Of course we’re in the tropics here in HK, and our spring will be all over sooner than yours, Jeremy !
