I had only just written about the observation of a Little Tern flagged in Taiwan last week when another flagged bird from overseas placed itself in our path! The metal band was placed on the right tarsus. The upper flag was blue with engraving on it and the lower flag was white and had no writing on it.

I also have a Grey-tailed Tattler that visits us and was marked with a plain white and an engraved blue flag “35″ in Taiwan in August 2012. Red-necked Stint ”321″ to the right of the Greater Sand Plover with two Curlew Sandpipers. Red-necked Stint “321″ on the right-two blue flags.

In Taiwan there are also migratory shorebirds passing through and they also upload photographs of individually marked birds on their website and detail the history of the birds. It is truly remarkable and it is happening right here in Broome with our migratory shorebirds and all across the world with a huge variety of species.

You may remember my recent posts where we discovered a Little Tern that had been flagged in Taiwan on Cable Beach. I suddenly observed a Grey-tailed Tattler wearing a metal band on its right tibia and a plain white flag and a blue engraved leg flag on the left tibia. Grey-tailed Tattler “35” in 2012.

Red Knot stand out and even a Silver Gull head on the right! The shorebirds need to consume as much as they can before they set off north with their next stop likely to be several days later in Taiwan or China. Rocks covered in shorebirds. A closer look at the rocks. An even closer look!

I am currently busy entering data on a voluntary basis for about 3500 shorebirds, so everything is up to date when I get reports of these birds in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea in future weeks. Wicked, right? I really can not compete with Corey and all his great photos of ducks , so here is a photo of my favourite duck door stop!
