On World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD 2020), EAAFP, BirdLife International and Oriental Bird Club hosted a webinar in line with the theme, “Birds Connect our World”. The webinar was titled "How can legflags on birds guide conservation", given by renowned speakers; Dr. Nigel Clark – Scientific Advisor to the Spoon-billed Sandpiper Task Force, Ms. Katherine Leung – Field Ecologist, and Dr, Chi-Yeung “Jimmy” Choi – Research Assistant Professor at Southern University of Science and Technology.

They illustrated the importance of research work to understand migration of waterbirds, and how bird watchers could also contribute to the conservation by reporting the resightings of the migratory birds with legflags, bands and tags.
