Interesting to see a tern with antenna.

Dear John,

Thanks for posting your picture of Y5 here and let us know the bird was still around. All re-sightings of marked bird are valuable information! The bird was still hanging around eastern waters yesterday.

This is a new study initiative from us and we hope we can learn more from movement of Black-naped Terns. Then we can bring good data for seabird and marine conservation in Hong Kong!
