If so, then this bird is infact a Great Knot (and I agree about the Greenshank at the back).   Best wishes,   Ian   Logged Neil BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 498 Re: Waders at Mai Po yesterday « Reply #2 on: Apr 28th, 2006, 7:15pm » Quote Modify Thanks for pointing that out Ian.  I saw the black band and jumped to the wrong conclusion.  Looking more closely I can see the longer bill and grey head.  Interesting that none of the guides show a black band on the Great Knot so is this just a trick of the light?
