This morning (9th Jan) I had 12 birds there. This is the highest count on record there.   Geoff Carey « Last Edit: Jun 25th, 2004, 10:47am by BBS Moderators » Logged Webmaster BBS Administrator I am the Webmaster of HKBWS     Gender: Posts: 100 Re: BFS at Ma Tso Lung « Reply #1 on: Jan 9th, 2003, 9:19pm » Quote Modify Hi Geoff,   Any implication so far may you draw upon the observation?  Just wonder why they seldom visited there in the past.   Karl.

As numbers increase in HK (over 200 this winter), then birds need to travel further afield for foraging.     The records of BFS at MTL this winter highlight the importance of this fine area to waterbirds. It is to be very much hoped that it remains a wetland area in the future, rather than being developed.   Geoff Logged 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 »
