[QUOTE="Larry Sweetland, post: 1173569, member: 27337"] [b]Krabi[/b] Today we went to the Krabi mangrove walkway for the third time in a week and heard the first [B]Mangrove Pitta [/B] of the trip. A few [B]Ashy Tailorbirds[/B], [B]Brown-winged Kingfishers [B]and[/B] Collared Kingfishers[/B], and [B]Pied Fantails [/B]hanging about. We carried all our stuff in plastc bags because it's Songkran (new year) and everyone's throwing buckets of water over everyone else from passing vehicles etc. Quite refreshing. In the afternoon I joined a group of 3 nice Brits on a boat trip with Mr Dai to look for waders at high tide. They had great scopes, which helped bigtime. We eventually located a large roost of mostly [B]sandplovers[/B], and goodies were gradually picked out. A particularly pale and striking [B]Nordmann's Greenshank[/B] was a major relief, but the biggest surprise was when Mark Thomas picked out a [B]Grey-tailed Tattler[/B], which I believe is quite a rare bird in Thailand. Other goodies included several [B]Great Knot[/B], a few [B]Curlew Sandpipers[/B] and [B]Red-necked Stints[/B], a [B]Broad-billed Sandpiper[/B], large numbers of [B]Terek Sandpipers[/B] and a few [B]Kentish[/B] and [B]Grey Plovers[/B]. I think wader numbers were probably lower by now than a few weeks ago, and there were very few [B]egrets[/B] to look through for[B] Chinese Egret[/B] (which we could not find). A big thank you to these folks for letting me accompany them on their trip. 648 Mangrove Pitta 649 Great Knot 650 [B]NORDMANN"S GREENSHANK[/B] 651 Grey-tailed Tattler [/QUOTE]
