Spoon-billed Sandpipers in China (1 Viewer)

Thankyou Zhang Li,

Failed to find any in Hebei, though the stint numbers were low so no surprise. I did hear of one being seen by a Chinese birder during the International Bird Race but the location was rather loosely described and its a big coast!

forgot to add:
one in breeding plumage photoed at Beilun Estuary NR,Fangchenggang,Guangxi on 27 Apr by Ma Yanju.
It's quite close to Vietnam.
At Rudong more shorebirds coming back but I will miss the first Spooner this autumn until I come back from Vietnam.

I think you could be right. It seems to agree with images here of a bird identified as a juvenile.

That's good news. Is this the only potential juvenile anyone has seen so far this autumn?
