The Little Curlews are progressing slowly to the north with one in the Yellow Sea region. Little Curlew LU is still in Yancheng Nature Reserve. On 7 May it moved towards the coast and now ustilise aquaculture pond in the buffer zone instead. The area is mariculture ponds for shells, shrimps, crabs and clamworms are carried out. LS continued to fly north on 10 May and transmitter signals indicate it was still migrating on 12 May, approaching Wenzhou in Zhejiang province.
