Resources Monitoring Centre observed 22 black-faced spoonbills
on 27 October 2004, and took photographs at the same time.
Two of them were sub-adults with slightly pink bills, and this
is the largest number of black-faced spoonbills recorded in
this area since 1990s. That was a sunny day, temperature was
about 20 degrees Celsius and was a bit windy. When we continued
the survey on 28 and 29, that group of birds disappeared. On
27 October 2003, 9 black-faced spoonbills were recorded at
the same area. This survey is kindly sponsored by HSBC. |
