Rich first became involved in spoon-billed sandpiper conservation in 2014, when he spent the autumn conducting surveys on the southern Jiangsu coast at Tiaozini and Yangkou with ornithologists from China and the UK. Rich returned in 2015 to help catch and colour-mark the first spoonies in China – among the 1,000 shorebirds caught were 10 spoon-billed sandpipers. Sightings of colour-marked birds have been made all along the flyway and help us understand how the birds move around and how long they survive for.
Thanks to the @orientbirdclub (BirdingAISA - biannual bulletin on Asian birds) for publishing this positive news on rescuing and saving a single individual of a Critically Endangered species.
Let’s start the week with a positive news! This Critically Endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper was rescued from the mudflats of Quanzhou, China by a local villager during heavy rain last week, the bird was wet & unable to fly (1/8)

Incredible and moving footage of Spoonie's 05 and P7 in the Inner Gulf of #Thailand. An homage to this little bird flying towards extinction, and to our host country for its critical role in the race to save it and secure a future for Spoonies #SaveSpoonie https://youtu.be/U3-9xlJ8tfM
