flagged redshanks @ SBWR - 24Oct2015

A selection of flagged redshanks seen at the main hide in the afternoon of 24Oct2015 when there was a period of low tide. The water in the pool at the main hide had just drained out following the falling tide.

There was a group of about 30 redshanks, 1 terek sandpiper, 1 marsh sandpiper, 1 greenshank and 3 black tailed godwits.

Redshanks seen : SE, JM, BF, EP, C2, RU
(note : JM is more than 20 yrs old having been tagged in 1996 and RU is more than 16 yrs old having been tagged in 2000).

Across at the adjacent pool which had some water, a flock of greenshanks and some redshanks flew in at about 6pm (when the tide must have started rising at the open mudflats close to the reserve) and 3 godwits were with them. These stayed in the shallow water near some mangrove saplings near where the resident milky storks were resting.
