Nordmann greenshank, or Tringa guttifer, is a shorebird listed as "endangered" on the IUCN Red List. It was believed that it only has a population of 500-1,000 in the world. But on September 18, over a thousand birds were spotted in the Yellow Sea wetland in Yancheng City, east China's Jiangsu Province.
