Dr. Lee Ki-sup of Waterbird Network in Korea inform me that eight young Black-faced Spoonbills were fitted with colour rings by a joint-effort of Korean and Japanese researchers in this summer. Details of the colour rings are as follows:

Right leg / Left leg
GWR/K81
K82/GWY
K83/GWB
K84/GWG
K85/WRY
K86/WRB
K87/WRG
K88/WRW

All K81 to K82 colour rings are in red colour.
G = Green, W = White, B = Blue, Y = Yellow, R = Red.

All sighting reports of ringed Black-faced Spoonbill are welcome. Members are encouraged to post information in this BBS, or send PM or email to me or the society.

Thank you very much

Number 77 ?

About 20 BFS at Pond 8 this morning, including this, the first banded one I've seen this winter

And a gratuitous European Spoonbill (also today)

I saw 27 BFS today (26-10-2009) but didn't find any ringed.

This ringed BFS should be one of the few born in Russia. The bird was ringed at Far East region of Russia on 15 Jul 2007.

Thanks for your posting!!

There're approximately 50 BFS in Wetland Park in afternoon (around 2pm), and I see there're 2 ringed.

It looks likely the value K81 when I use the telescope to see there, but the image quality is limited by my instrument.

Unfortunately the forum does not allow me to upload more photos within the short period, I may try to upload some more photos for this BFS.

Another resized and cropped image for the same BFS token almost at the same time.
