Birds are now starting to show signs of Breeding/Summer plumage. Counts today show a decrease in numbers with around 700 birds present within the Khok Kham complex.

2 Birds seen here today on the rising tide of the mudflats on the edge of the salt pans at Khok Kham. This can be a some what tricky species to catch up with at Khok Kham. On my first year I saw 1 bird, my next 2 years I didnt see any. In 2005 I had 27 birds feeding together but there was a record count of 150+ recorded on the 3rd January 2006.
