I'm sure that there will be birds up there that we don't see down here at all. I wonder which is the Asian Golden Plover that you saw? It's confusing that there are several different names for the same bird.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-78050694879596467842010-09-13T10:56:48.225+10:002010-09-13T10:56:48.225+10:00Wow, Mick, you already have a lot there!

A great selection of waders there Mick and some interseting observations about the godwits especially. I hope you get some information on the marked Great Knot - the person that ringed it will be so pleased.

They are too far off from where I live. :) <br /><br />... and the Red-necked Stint don´t come to us :(<br /><br />So first year bird should equal 1k then.
