Couldn't agree more! I wonder if a spring or autumn trip to Kashmir or a winter one to Sthn Pakistan might be fruitful.

Haven't there been recent winter sightings at Kanha NP in central India?

Quite possibly, athough the Thai record could indicate wintering grounds further east. Southern Burma maybe?

That should be "records" Jacana - the Lam Pak Bia bird was retrapped a year later, and another bird was trapped near Chiang Rai.

Perhaps these birds are wintering in Cambodia or southern Vietnam? Burma does seem like a likely option though...

typo, sorry.

I can also see them being found in some remote corner of Tonle Sap or Cochinchina
