Ringed BFS in LV

Ringed BFS in LV

Sorry that I cannot open the webpage for ringed BFS.  I like to report that a ringed Black-faced Spoonbill is in the managed fishpond next to the fea ponds today in Long Valley.  Details of the rings are:
Left: Green-Yellow-Red
Right: Red "K81"

This bird is an adult, but an immature was present by his/her side.  It looks like a parant is moving around with his/her off-spring.

HF Cheung

Notes add: Sorry I have mix up the left and right legs.  It should be opposite, and it is clear from the following photos.

This BFS has visited Long Valley before on Dec2009. And it should be born in 2009 summer.

Thank you so much for all your information and photos!!!

Sze, thank you so much for "digging" the old post back!!

Yes, K81 has been recorded in LV about 2 years ago!! I am glad that it comes back again!!!
Tung said that K81 was seen in Mai Po this winter. This shows that the foraging range of BFS can be so wide!! From MP to LV!! This is a very good finding!!

You are welcom!

起初忘了留意年份以為K81是塱原第一隻黑臉琵鷺的記錄。

但原來我攪錯了。原來在早一年前(2008年)的同一日已有1隻黑臉琵鷺的記錄。:p
