I was asked by the recovery team to put the word out requesting inland records from China based on the theory that there may be an alternative route for the wintering birds from Myanmar and formerly Bangladesh. Sadly with so few birdwatchers operating in these areas with limited resources and equipment, an overland migration route will take some time to confirm or dismiss.Fingers crossed it's the former as we are recording fewer waders it seems, of a variety of species annually now through the eastern seaboard.</blockquote>
