caption_attribution_description: English: Photographed on 26/12/2006 at Kapar Power Station Ash Pond, Selangor State, Malaysia. Featured in centre is the Spotted (Nordmann's) Greenshank (Tringa guttifer) in non-breeding plumage. It is surrounded by closely related Common Greenshanks (Tringa nebularia). Note the subtle but consistant differences between these 2 species particularly in head and upperparts.
context_page_description: The Daedong Bay Important Bird Area lies on the north-eastern coast of the Yellow Sea on the west coast of North Korea near the mouth of the Taedong River. It comprises 3,500 ha of marine, intertidal and beach wetlands, encompassing a 2,000 ha protected area. It has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because it supports significant populations of various birds, including greater white-fronted geese, Oriental storks, black-faced spoonbills, Chinese egrets, great bustards, hooded cranes, red-crowned cranes, Far Eastern curlews, Nordmann's greenshanks and spoon-billed sandpipers. Threats to the site include agricultural intensification and aquacultural development.
