Thanks to the extensive coverage of local birdwatchers, this elusive wader is gradually unfolded in Malaysia.
First inspired by my almost fortnightly sightings in 2003 of this very little observed bird in Malaysia. It is good to know that this non-descriptive shorebird has become much better accquanted ever since, with more sightings by more observers at more sites in the region. However this is still one of the most threatened shorebirds in Asia. Note: All photos are copyright of the respective photographers. Please seek blog owner's permission for any reuse of these photos.
