Waders at sea and in the paddies
Made a circuit of the estuary for the first time in a while. Three Red Knots, Great Knot, Bar-tailed Godwit, Far Eastern Curlew, Terek Sandpiper, Grey-tailed Tattler, and Greater Sand Plover were all observed. A Pied Avocet had turned up in the paddies.
A Red Knot transitioning into breeding plumage. Three appearing at the same time is unusual.
