Black-faced Spoonbill are fundamentally wintering birds in Hong Kong and expected at the Mai Po Nature Reserve between late October and the end of April. The fact that 'Mai Po's Eleven', which were aptly nicknamed by the Mai Po staff, are here in summer in such a high number, is very unusual. In the past, one or two birds are known to have stayed into the summer months, but 'Mai Po's Eleven' this summer smashes all previous Hong Kong records.     The flock is also becoming famous for their playful non-shy nature and regular posing in front of the bird-watching hides for visitors. All eleven birds are juveniles and no more than 1-year old, accounting for their youthful and energetic behaviour.     Full Press Release   English : http://www.wwf.org.hk/eng/pressreleases/20060720.php   Chinese : http://www.wwf.org.hk/chi/pressreleases/20060720.php « Last Edit: Jul 22nd, 2006, 10:03am by Mai_Po_Office » Logged Webcreeper BBS Moderator BBS Member BBS God I'm a webcreeper     Gender: Posts: 1031 Re: 'Mai Po's Eleven' Summering BFSB 米埔十一小黑 « Reply #1 on: Jul 21st, 2006, 9:57pm » Quote Modify 11黑臉琵鷺米埔流連忘返 2006年7月21日   【明報專訊】候鳥隨季節遷徙，不過有11隻港人熟悉的黑臉琵鷺幼鳥，不知是否樂 而忘返，還是跟不上大隊，去年底訪港越冬後，至今仍留在米埔，未有回家，數目 是歷年之冠。   香港觀鳥會水禽普查統籌員余日東，早前到南北韓休戰區視察黑臉琵鷺繁殖地點， 發現該處有部分年幼的黑臉琵鷺曾於去年冬季訪港。他估計，這批幼鳥應是去年在 南韓出生，然後到港越冬，今年春季後有部分選擇了回家，一部分卻留了下來。 Logged 　　　　　　　>}o-}o-　　　>}o-　　　　　　　　　>}o-　　　　.......x Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題 => Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
