The sea is calm to moderate.     Two adult White-bellied Sea Eagles were seen at Sham Chung.     We had high number of Black-naped Terns at Hoi Ha.  Despite two holiday fishermen on the Hoi Ha light-house, about 60 BN Terns were found on the two yellow floating platforms. They offered the best chances for photographing. For those who are sharp-eyed, one non-breeding White-winged Tern could be seen.     Just before reaching Kung Chau lighthouse, we saw a Black Kite chased away by about 7-8 BN Terns.     In Kung Chau, the BN Terns were even more spectacular, but our boat did not allow a close appraoch. Also, the sea was more rough. Our rocking boat made good photography almost impossible.     Just before reaching Tern Island, we saw 10-20 Bridled Terns accompanying a 2nd year White-bellied Sea Eagle moving away from the island.   At Tern Island, the Bridled Terns were seemingly disturbed. About 80 Bridled Terns were circling high up the sky, sometimes as far as 500m away from the island. Although there were no significant people moving on the island, there were a Ferry with 30-40 people taking diving lessons. Also there was a man-made shelter just above the pier. It is not clear what exactly cause the Terns to react this way. We stayed for about 20 minutes, photographing the flying Terns from our boat. By this time, the Terns were moving closer and closer to the Island. BY the time we left, the flock had grown to 120 Terns and they are in a mode trying to land on the island.     After lunch at Tap Mun, we set for Sai Kung. Three adult White-bellied Sea Eagles were seen near Sai Kung Pier.     HF Cheung « Last Edit: Sep 20th, 2004, 2:37pm by BBS Moderators » Logged KK Hui BBS Member BBS God Bird Photography - at its best ...     Posts: 940 Re: 25 July Tern Outing « Reply #1 on: Jul 26th, 2004, 4:34pm » Quote Modify My sincere thanks go to both HF and Alan for organizing the trip!   I really enjoyed it and I'm sure the others did too ...   KK Hui ARPS www.geocities.com/kkhui_001     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 »
