Ventured to Chek Jawa on 23Sep2017 a bit too late as the tide was fast rising. Some shorebirds had flown to Pulau Sekudu to roost on the granite boulders. There were a handful of about 15 whimbrels and a lone bar-tailed godwit along with some common sandpipers and what could be a grey plover. The video clip shows the bar-tailed godwit amongst the whimbrels as the wind picked up before a sudden downpour. The birds moved to another part of the island to avoid the worst of the strong winds which preceded the rain.
