I had a nice day at Mai Po yesterday on my own . Where is everyone? There were about 2000 plus birds in the main Scrape at high tide, mostly Greenshanks and Red-Necked Stints, but I was happy to see about 50 plus Terek Sandpipers and here is one of them. Neil.

Andrew,
When I was going out to Mai Po During Mar/Apr/May during the week ( I don't go on weekends) there were always people out there then. In fact one day there were 10 people out in the Deep Bay Hide. I suspect that people don't like the hot weather and believe that there are no birds worth going to see until September. Neil.

Neil, you are probably right but I took annual leave during the migration season so that I could go to MP during the week and indeed the Boardwalk Hides were packed with photographers. If you can regularly go during the week you are very fortunate. All I can see frommy window here is LegCo
