    Count Type 1On foot
    Nil Count (No birds present) 0There were CWAC species present
    Notes About a third of the bottom was covered with water, which was very shallow and surrounded by extensive mudflats. Because of these extensive shallow and mudflats, the unidentified small waders were too far away (and there was heat haze at that stage) for me to identify with certainty (they were probably Little Stints or/and Curlew Sandpipers).
