Dear members, More results have been collected since last announcement. The following is a more complete result: Taiwan: 585 Hong Kong: 179 Vietnam: 65 Macao: 46 Futian, Shenzhen: 24 Chongmingdao, Shanghai: 1 Yenchang, Jiangsu: 16 South Korea: 22 Japan: 128 Thailand: 3 Therefore, a total of 1069 Black-faced Spoonbills were counted in the 2003 census. This is the highest number of this species ever. Moreover, the actual number is likely even higher as the other 13 individuals were seen in Hainan Island but counts were not made on the time of the census. Regards YU Yat-tung Coordinator The International Black-faced Spoonbill Census

Dear Tung, Maybe the best news out of the census is the large number of sites where BFS were spotted. We saw earlier in the year how important the divisersity of these sites are, when we had a large number of birds die in Taiwan but in the other sites, the birds were unaffected
