Hi Folks, Xiaoming, Mcaribou et.al
I'm posting this in the hope that we can help the species recovery team with as much genuine data/records of Spoon-billed Sandpipers coming from China as possible - age/date/location etc
I passed on Mcaribou's fine observation of six adults in August as well as asking various observers I know in China to do the same.
There is a new hypothesis that Spoon-billed Sandpipers could be crossing mainland China from their wintering grounds in Bangladesh in Spring/possibly Autumn. Could you pass on the word to other observers and let me know of any possible sightings around Dongting Hu and any other potential inland sites?
Regards
Mark
