Decline in no. of birdwatchers in Mai Po

Yes, there are not too much birdwatchers in these days in MP. I went to MP on 2013-05-06 when I got my first FCA Permit and went to the hides. There are no one there. In the new floating hide Red Hide. I happened to see (my first time) at least 2 Grey-tailed Tattler(I hope that I am right, correct me if I am wrong please). From the Hong Kong Bird Report 2009-2010, the peak count is 9 in 2010.



Other species seen in MP Boardwalk includes:

Purple Heron
Greater Sand Plover
Red-necked Stint
Grey Heron
Little Egret
Great Egret
Chinese Pond Heron
Far Eastern Curlew
Pied Avocet
Common Moorhen
Common Greenshank
Terek Sandpiper
Caspian Tern
Chinese Bulbul
Barn Swallow
and a Hawk which flew away before I could take a record shot
