Dear Hendirx, The "Falcon" that you show may not be a falcon at all. It might be a rare seabird. Do you have a better picture of the bird? HF Cheung

黑枕燕鷗夠勇猛,又夠齊心,連遊隼也趕走! 以前也曾見過牠們驅趕麻鷹、大白鷺和黑卷尾。如果有人太過接近繁殖地,牠們也 會立即飛出來高聲抗議。 Black-napeds are really agressive and united, even the Peregrine Falcon can't bully them! They have also been seen to drive away Black Kites, Great Egrets and Black Drongos. If you stay too close to their colony, they will come out and complain loudly.

| Thanks Hendrix! Sometimes an out-of-focus photo can still be very useful for our study. (Not to mention that my shots are always fuzzy )
