Grey Plover:
Y3 - 3-Jan-25, adult; 2nd record; seen earlier by you on 15-Jan
C6 - 23-Mar-2020, adult; 6 records from Mai Po between 2020 and 2022; not seen there after.
K9 - 25-Jan-2023, adult; 3 records in 2023 at Mai Po; not seen there after.
M7 - 15-Nov-2023, adult; 4 records from Mai Po and Sha Kiu; last seen by you in Dec-25
E2 - originally X9, 20-Dec-2017, 1st year; 16 sightings from Mai Po and Lau Fau Shan; last seen by you in Dec-25
AW - 8-Dec-2018, 1st winter; this bird has been recorded for 3 autumns in Rudong, Jiangsu in September 2020, 2021 and 2023; but never been record back at Mai Po; very nice record.
Y0 should be a Tibetan Sand Plover - 15-Nov-2023, 1st winter; frequently report at Shenzhen Talent Park; last seen Nov-25 at Sha Kiu.

Tibetan Sand Plover Y8 - 26-Apr-2021, adult; frequently report at Shenzhen Talent Park; last seen Jan-26
Dunlin WD is probably W0 - 26-Nov-2022, 1st winter; this is the 1st report.
Dunlin XZ - 23-Dec-2025, 1st winter; 1st record.
Green flagged Dunlin without code: I guess would be an individual marked as green over blue from Jiangsu.
Great Knot: we have not use XT on Great Knot and I cannot find a similar code, maybe it is not a Great Knot?
Eurasian Curlew B3 - 3-Jan-2018, 1st winter; 13 sightings from Mai Po, last seen earlier in Jan.
