After a brief search at our regular joints @ Yangshan n Nanhui car park, we headed to the sea wall guided by our new acquaintance, Xiao Chen in search of a Red-necked Phalarope which we didn't find but what we found was a lonely "Oriental Stork" in flight. High 5's everywhr and when we turned to the sea side, there were more reason for flying high 5's. About 31 Whooper Swans(Need experts opinion, plz. Hard to ID from this ugly photo) were finding their solace in the low tide along with a huge flock of Grey herons. For some reason, all the herons took off which revealed one more Oriental Stork. Our Kickass team pulled out some other interesting birds too. 8-PEurasian Spoonbill - 25Saunder's Gull - 100Atleast thousands of water fowl (Ducks & Geese)Detailed report will be posted by Frogfish in his Shanghai Perambulations thread.</blockquote>
