Birding's ultimate "Holy Grail", never common but
in far greater numbers thirty years ago when this poor shot was taken in Hong Kong. Unfortunately the
vast mud flats at Mai Po meant that birds were rarely seen closely, but the page is ready for when (if)
I get a decent shot. Recently re-classified as a calidrid, the monotypic genus status was
presumably based on the bill alone.
