Graham Talbot found the booby this morning (Saturday 19 June) sitting on the sea near Wu Kai Sha, Ma On Shan. The bird looks settled.

Directions: Go to the roundabout opposite Villa Rhapsody where the Ma On Shan Bypass intersects with Sai Sha Road. Turn left at the roundabout into Nin Wah Road and then immediately right into Nin Ming Road. Look for a small BBQ sign on the left and go down a bumpy road here which leads to a carpark. Foom here, scan the sea for the booby.

Up to about two o'clock the bird was just off Sham Chung pier, and thus easily visible from land if you walk round there from Yung Shue O.

As I indicated in an earlier post in the middle part of the day in was just off Sham Chung pier, about a kilometer or so from where first seen as I understand it ie near United World College, where there is a seaside restaurant called the Country Inn, and loads of parking. Again as I said, while at Sham Chung it could be seen very well from land, if you walked the 30 mins (or so?) from where the road ends at Yung Shue O.

However, I believe it had been fairly mobile, having been over near Plover Cove at one point. When I found it it was actually on the rocks c 50 m S/W of Sham Chung pier, and then on the water, and it flew once while we were with it.

It does not seem seriously ill - though who knows? - and was a bit of a 'booby', allowing quite close approach and drifting towards the boat quite happily.

It became a nicer little earner for one boatman - who looked very familiar, does he crew on the boat we go out onto southern waters in? He was charging $600 for the trip, but was generous with his time really and very pleasant in his manner.

Many thanks to Graham and all members info.
Extra thanks to kwok jai & Michelle boat trip arrangement.

Does this bird have a feather disease?

If so, it's rather like the Glaucous-winged Gull last year and the Japanese Murrelet in 2007.

Is it coincidence that these are all rare sea birds, or is the disease the reason why they come into coastal waters like Hong Kong?

I would think that the bird is molting as the damage of the feathers are symmetric for left and right side....
Therefore I think she demand much enegy to overcome this period, and need a rest on the sea... just my guess...

There is a large Red-footed Booby colony (about 10000 birds) in the South China Sea, south of HK. From June to August, the sea current near HK is generally from SW to NE. I think that helps to bring this bird to HK. Let's say, this is just after the breeding Season. After the chicks leave the nest, the parants start moulting even though they are not fully recovered from the tired breeding process yet. Then the sea current bring it here.

The bird that I saw in Dong Ping Chau many years ago is very similar in behavior to this bird.
