In light of recent requests for banding information I thought I'd repost a note
from Chris Hassell to the Oriental Birding listserv.
You never know, some Thai or norther Aust birds may head the wrong way over the
next month or so or come to other parts of Australia at the end of boreal
summer breeding.
Cheers
Alan

Note also that over 4000 shorebirds have been flagged in Thailand these
past few years, including 100-plus most recently within the past week.
The Thai birds bear a black flag above a green flag, and may also
already be on their way north. It is important also to note the shape of
the flags from Thailand (oblong indicating the Inner Gulf of Thailand;
tapered flags indicating the peninsula).
