Nine Black-faced Spoonbills (at least four adults) were spotted at Mai Po today. Four of these birds (the sub-adults and juveniles) were probably the ones to stay over the summer and the remaining one could also be a new individual. The first birds usually arrived Mai Po around mid-October and this record shows the birds arrived Mai Po with the cold front.

今天有九隻黑臉琵鷺(包括四隻成鳥)在米埔出現, 今年夏天有四隻(都是亞成鳥及幼鳥)逗留, 所以有一隻幼鳥是新到達的。 一般第一隻渡冬的成鳥琵鷺通常會在10月中到達,這群黑臉琵鷺可能是隨到達華南的冷鋒一同來港的。
