Post lunch a boat trip along a tall mangrove lined estuary was the plan to see some special waders and shorebirds.
It was largely successful.
Target species included three congeners: Kentish Plover, Malaysian Plover and White faced Plover. All three were recorded. Score.
Also special was the Chinese Egret; although only one of our two boats saw the bird.
Other waders seen included Whimbrel, Common Sandpiper, Terek Sandpiper and Sanderling. Eastern Reef Egrets [dark phase were also seen. A few Common Terns were among the many Little.
We decided to give the second wader spot a miss rather than force a late night when an early start tomorrow is essential!
