Hi Thomas,

I am interested to this ringed bird. Do you have more pictures of this bird, or would you mind to enlarge this picture?

Thanks
Tung

This year we have helped Fung Yuen to put colour rings (and metal rings) on Barn Swallow to see whether they will come back to the same nest next year. This bird is probably one of them.

So great! The ringed swallow flew from Fung Yuen to Tsim Bei Tsui.
Hope it would be found returning to Fung Yuen nest year!
:D

Thank you Dr Cheung HF and his team, esp. William to make this happens. (Thanks AFCD) The team has ringed 3 adults and 4 Juv on 24 June 2006 at Fung Yuen Education Centre, Tai Po. We are so happy to see this ringed barn swallow again. Should anyone see barn swallows with colored ring, remember to take pics and post them!!! :D :D :D
