I joined one of the Chinese Crested Tern surveys organized by Xiamen Bird Watching Society (XBWS) on 22 July 2005 at a sandflat at Min River Estuary, Fujian. An individual was observed, share with members some interesting pictures.
The bird at the estuary was first discovered by XBWS on 8 August 2004. Regular surveys are being conducted by the XBWS under the funding support of RSPB (Oct 2003 - Jan 2005) and WWF (May 2004 - Mar 2006).
Some recent sightings of the bird are as below (extracted from "China Bird Watch" 2005.05, data sourced from XBWS):
4 June 2004 - a breeding pair mating at Min River Estuary
18 June 2004 - a pair at Min River Estuary
Equipment:
Nikon Coolpix 4500 + Swarovski telescope + Kowa telescope
