Spoon-billed Sandpipers

This little wader has cult status among birders. Recent reports in Thailand indicate up to 7 can be seen in the Laem Pak Bia & Pak Thale areas of Phetchaburi province. Up to three more have been seen at Khok Kham near Samut Sakhorn, just to the west of Bangkok. This link to Spoon-billed Sandpipers recently photographed in China was posted on Bird Forum and  commentators are  rightly describing these with high end superlatives: stunning, awesome, breathtaking......... judge for yourself!
