Greater Painted Snipe nesting at Mai Po : May 2008

The Greater Painted Snipe are back nesting on the scrape (gei wai #16/17) again this year, which is great news. One pair is nesting just outside Hide 3 on the right handside, about 4 metres away. The male is currently sat on 3 eggs.

Thank you for posting comments.

Based on my own personal observations of this nesting bird over the last 3-4 days and its behaviour towards people in the hide, I think boarding up the closest 3 shutters is an appropriate course of action to take for now.

Our staff will block the shutters this afternoon and place an explanatory notice nearby.
