I made a lunchtime visit to Bang Poo, which this weekend has been hosting the 3rd Asian Bird Fair. After chatting to a few local birders I headed out onto the Pier and checked the roosting pools to seek out some Larid action...

Apart from the gulls (hundreds of
Brown-headed, a few
Black-headed and one, possibly two
Heuglin's) there was also a big roost of perhaps 1,000 or more
Black-tailed Godwits, with a few
Marsh Sandpipers,
Common Redshank,
Pacific Golden Plover and a single
Greater Sandplover thrown in for good measure.
