炎炎夏日,不少市民會到島嶼遊山玩水,但玩樂的同時,請尊重大自然!繼康文署早前強行修剪大埔鷺鳥林、導致巢毀鳥亡悲劇後,再有人為影響雀鳥生態的慘劇發生,時值燕鷗繁殖季節,有市民發現,有遊人登上本港燕鷗繁殖的荒島上,近距離拍攝燕鷗蛋、疑踩爛燕鷗蛋,亦有人在島上航拍,影響燕鷗繁殖。觀鳥會發出聲明,嚴厲譴責不負責任、不尊重雀鳥及違返法例的行為,並已通知漁護署跟進。

觀鳥會指出,近日接獲市民舉報,有個別人士及團體,登上有燕鷗繁殖的小島干擾島上的雀鳥,甚至懷疑有人破壞鳥蛋。有市民在社交網站發文,呼籲市民「遇見鳥蛋請眼看手勿動」。

鳥蛋慘被踩爛

事發於7月2日(星期日),據網上圖片所見,一群數十人隊伍一同登島,有人走近鳥巢近距離拍下鳥蛋相片、有人在島上航拍,更懷疑有人踩爛鳥蛋。

1997年講到依家,要求根據Ch 170 <野生動物保護條例 - 13. 進入限制地區>,規定夏天繁殖不能登島。現行例子有深灣同米埔。唔明點解政府唔諗!

做了10數年的燕鷗調查,是否有是夠數據,去支持立法規定夏天繁殖不能登島?

如果係冇,HKBWS是否可申請做一項遊人對燕鷗繁殖研究 (例如圍封部份燕鷗島,看看<圍封> 與 <不圍封>的繁殖成功率)?

鳥會立場如何? 繼續自願不登島? 還是立法規定夏天繁殖不能登島?

另外,漁護署出咗<保護和觀賞燕鷗守則>咁多年,成效如何? 能否有效保護燕鷗,尤其是繁殖成功率? 如成功,如何解釋今次鳥蛋破壞事件?

又想問政府,如果今次係有人去大埔鷺林遊覽,破巢嚇鳥,政府又是否視不理?

退一步,政府是否可考慮在燕鷗島加裝web-cam,看看遊人登島情況?

若政府有數據支持遊人登島不影響繁殖,尤其是繁殖成功率,所以政策不變。麻煩政府提供這類數據,以作參考

請原諒廢中囉囉梳梳。我只是每年都看到這類報告,年復一年,毫無吋進。覺得疲倦乏力。見諒。希望持份者能定出計劃及路線圖,去切實保護繁殖燕鷗。

No landing by law has been raised since 1997. Ch 170 Wild Animals Protection Ordinance – section 13 could allow AFCD to designate a restricted area. Current examples are Mai Po NR and Sham Wan on Lamma. This kind of serious disturbance on tern islands repeats every yr. I do not understand why no action has been undertaken.

Could the tern monitoring since the early 2000s provide sufficient data to support such designation of Restricted Area?

If not, could HKBWS apply funding to study the impact of visitors on the breeding success of terns? For instance fencing off some area, and then make a comparative study on the breeding success.   

What about the stance of HKBWS? Keep the “No landing, as you wish”, or “No landing by law”.

Also, how’s the effectiveness of the code of protecting and watching terns? Is there any review? Can this code effectively protecting nesting terns? If it is success, then how to explain this egg destruction case?

Another thought is, if this happens at the Tai Po egret nesting colony (ie nest destruction and scare away birds by visitors), will no action be undertaken?

As an interim action, could a web-cam be set up on tern islands, so the impact of visitors can be fully viewed?

If Government has good data and basis to maintain its stance and consider no action, grateful if this can be opened to the public for reference.

Sorry for being so nagging. Just feel fatigue as this issue happens every yr and no improvement is seen. I would be most grateful if the stakeholders can sit down together, work out a plan that can effectively settle down this problem.
