Wader numbers were good throughout the week as daytime high tides brought many thousands into gei wai #16/17. Also Yellow Bittern are arriving and can be seen in gei wai #8 and Pond #24.

A Black-winged Stilt breeding survey in the week recorded 23 nesting pairs on the islands of pond #15a, and gei wai #16/17 and #23. Several already have chicks and these can be seen from Hide 1.

Unfortunately there have been no recent sightings of Spot-billed Duck, so it seems none will breed this year.

A rather quiet week but Black-headed Gulls and waders including Redshank, Whimbrel and Pied Avocet could still be seen at gei wai #16/17 during hightide.

Up to 6 immature Black-winged Stilts were actively running around and foraging on the islands at gei wai #16/17. They could be easily seen in all bird-watching hides around gei wai #16/17.

Gei wai at the northern part of the Reserve were undergoing water exchange process and hundreds of herons and egrets were attracted to feed in the shallow water.
