Little curlews in China
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.

Little curlew LL on its way north!
The first Little Curlew has started its migration. Little Curlew LL has moved about 90 km east on Seram Island, Maluku province. The others (LS and LU) are still getting ready for migration at Anna Plains and we expect them to migrate any day now.
