Hi John,

Yes, it is a first record of a Terek Sandpiper in this colour combination.

I think it is flagged at Sumatra, Indonesia.

Thanks
Tung

The colour combination of flegs are actually white above and yellow below. However, birds in HK always need to wade over muddy water in Deep Bay and so flegs would be covered by mud after some time and become yellow and 'darker' yellow.

This bird is fitted with flegs in Hong Kong.

Thanks for your report.

I also see blue flags on both tibia and tarsus of right leg. I also think it is flagged at Northern Hokkaido. It is a very good re-sighting because we don't usually have sightings from birds flagged at Japan.

Thank you very much
