黑臉琵鷺回來了 The First Black-faced Spoonbill arrive

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。

BFS on 6 October

This is good news!
We also saw 4 (or 6? - couldn't remember) bfs on Mai Po mudflats on 6th October 2013 Sunday.

There were 6 Black-faced Spoonbills on the mudflats on October 8th & 9th.

Saw a group of them flying faraway over the mudflats and landed there.  There were about 22.  Sorry for the poor photos; quite far away from the hide with my 420mm lens.

A few bfs were seen this morning at Nam Sang Wai, of which two were foraging near the mudflats.
