This map will show the counting progress. Counts will not be added automatically but will almost be real time. Grey dots mark the locations with actual counts from between 2014 and 2016. Coral coloured dots are from this year. It will be interesting to see the distribution of locations.
Number of shorebird species seen up to date: 144
With the observation of a Barred Buttonquail in Thailand, a never reported shorebird species became the new Global Shorebird Counting species. © Alder Chang (Photo was legally embedded from Alder Chang’s Flickr stream with direct link to his portfolio. Check out his work.)
