The project recruited schoolkids from eight Asian nations, from Russia down to Thailand, to help color in frames of an animation that depicts the lonely and perilous migration of a Spoon-billed Sandpiper as it faces threats from habitat loss and hunting. (Hat tip to Clare M. for the scoop!)

The prinias are a group of around 25 Old World warbler species found in Africa and Asia. It inhabits rather dry areas within a region notorious for being one of the rainiest parts of the world, and is thus patchily distributed from Burma through Laos, Cambodia, parts of Thailand and south China, all the way to Vietnam. Yes, indeed.

As impressive as these birds are, many species, particularly in southern Asia , have seen precipitous population declines having to do somewhat with the old habitat issues that plague animals around the world , but more to do with the widespread use of anti-inflammatory drugs on cattle, who then die and are eaten by vultures who are poisoned.

Nordmann’s Greenshank photographed hunting on the Cairns Esplanade [Ken Cross]. I already had Nordmann’s on my life list from a single sighting of two birds in coastal Thailand back in 1995. In south east Asia, the birds are tied to the estuarine habitat and are recognised as crab specialists. That was clearly some time ago.]
