Subject: 黑臉琵鷺回來了 The First Black-faced Spoonbill arrive [Print This Page]

Author: HKBWS Ivan Time: 17/10/2013 15:00 Subject: 黑臉琵鷺回來了 The First Black-faced Spoonbill arrive

Nine Black-faced Spoonbills (at least four adults) were spotted at Mai Po today. Four of these birds (the sub-adults and juveniles) were probably the ones to stay over the summer and the remaining one could also be a new individual. The first birds usually arrived Mai Po around mid-October and this record shows the birds arrived Mai Po with the cold front.

今天有九隻黑臉琵鷺(包括四隻成鳥)在米埔出現, 今年夏天有四隻(都是亞成鳥及幼鳥)逗留, 所以有一隻幼鳥是新到達的。一般第一隻渡冬的成鳥琵鷺通常會在10月中到達,這群黑臉琵鷺可能是隨到達華南的冷鋒一同來港的。

Saw a group of them flying faraway over the mudflats and landed there. There were about 22. Sorry for the poor photos; quite far away from the hide with my 420mm lens.

A few bfs were seen this morning at Nam Sang Wai, of which two were foraging near the mudflats.

The second bird from the left is an Eurasian Spoonbill!

Thank you Justin for pointing out.
Yes, that is indeed an Eurasian Spoonbill!
