Great Thick-Knee : 24 June 2009

In response to Richard's post:

The records that I have is way back to Nov(?) 1993(?).  We saw this species (2 to 3 birds) in the town of both Yinjiang and Ruili.  This was seen together with CY Lam, CN Ng, Li Wai Ki, and Wong Tin Wa.  Yinjiang and Ruili is on two different river system.  Therefore, we thought at that time this species was not uncommon.  But in the trips following this one, this species was not seen for about 10 years, until a trip in 2003-04 winter.  On 3rd(?) of January 2004, Gary Chow claimed that he saw one flying along the river (Lujiang) at Daojia (near Bawan).  We did a search along the river but could not re-locate the bird.
