Shortly earlier than the beginning of the UN-ESCAP workshop on biodiversity (on which a separate report will observe), a brief go to to the Gochan tidal flat. Time was not likely good, arriving virtually at low tide. Anyway, quite a lot of waders, Frequent Greenshanks, Dunlins, Gray Plovers, Terek Sandpipers, Frequent Sandpipers, Little Ringed Plovers, Far-Jap Oystercatchers, Eurasian Whimbrels, Far Jap Curlews, and others. Most of the smaller waders near the waterline have been too far to establish them. Moreover, quite a lot of Blackfaced Spoonbills, one among them ringed. Birding earlier than the workshop was good for the temper!
