Good to see you back in action Guy.
Hope to see more of your Lamma bird photos in future.

I'm not sure why Black-naped Terns should be unusual in YSO - they are in surrounding waters.

HI Geoff.. yes good to be back taking pics... have also started a Lamma Island Bird Group on FB which you might find interesting as is different from the normal FB groups.. you should check out the "ALBUMS"... have also built a 3km trail on a previously uncharted hill (for about 20yrs) for walkers & with a view to birding... together with a new Bird photography area on an unused plot thru the Lands Dept... so going a little "bigger" this time around

We very very occasionally get Seabirds in the harbour where I generally hang out... although we got an out of season Whiskered Tern for 4 days from June 10th

A flock of Black-naped and Roseate Terns are around the waters outside Cheung Chau.  They can be seen trailing the wake of ships to fish.

8 were seen in the harbour yesterday evening at a low tide having first being spotted the previous day at roughly the same time (18:00)
Seems several were seen feeding their young on the rocks in the harbour a few years ago..
