There were lots of Black-faced Spoonbills at Mai Po. This is another species which I have seen a few of near Hakodate but Mai Po seems to hold a significant part of the world’s population in winter. There were still plenty of them around last week.

A shame the light was so bad.

BFS ! Yes, mostly a winter visitor and passage migrant here.
You never know, another one may overshoot to Hokkaido this spring/summer.
