A wet morning, but there was no-one else around, and the low air pressure allowed the tide to rise higher than expected, bringing the birds close-ish to the hides.
Nice to see a variety of passage migrants around.
Wonderful images, John. Your flight shots are always exceptional. This feature proves once again that Mai Po is an exceptional place.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David !
DeleteGreat shots! Always nice to see the waders in their breeding plumage.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Forest - as April turns to May I’ll hope to be seeing fewer birds, but more spectacular plumage
