Some interesting waterbirds from Kapar

Since I haven't managed to get into the field for almost a month, I've asked permission from Ang Teck Hin to post some of his recent discoveries at Kapar Power Station, Selangor, the country's prime migratory waterbird site.



The first is a small calidrid sandpiper with a shortish downward-curved bill.





The second is potentially even more interesting - the large, pale-mantled tern on the left of the picture with a mostly yellow, black-tipped bill!

Before I say what I think they are, I thought it would be interesting to hear other people's opinions!
