A dull, cold, windy
morning but I spent a few hours back around the river mouth and rice paddies
near Luodong; there were still 200+
Black-tailed Gulls loafing around while Black-headed Gull, Great White
Egret, JAPANESE CORMORANT and Osprey
were added to my Taiwan list. The Bull-headed Shrike was still in the
same place (with attendant twitchers!) while a BROWNISH-FLANKED BUSH WARBLER was in the bushes before I drove back
over the bridge and along the southern bank of the river where there was a few
different bits including a drake FALCATED
DUCK with some Wigeon and Teal, single SWAN
GOOSE and GREATER FLAMINGO (also
with attendant twitchers!) and a Richard’s
Pipit.
A drive round some more rice paddies for a while
produced a pair of Garganey with some more Teal and more waders including good
numbers of Long-toed Stints with
more Little Ringed Plovers, Kentish Plovers, Wood Sandpipers, Greenshank and
Green-headed Yellow Wagtails.
