More
than 30 shorebird species that
cross oceans each year to visit Australia , including this Far Eastern curlew
seen here in in Mai Po marshes in Hong Kong, are being hunted during their
migrations. A study that analysed decades of records from 14 countries found
that more than 17,000 birds from 16 species were probably being killed at just
three areas – Pattani Bay in Thailand, West Java in Indonesia and the
Yangtze River delta in China.
