Tufted Duck are numbering about 1,000 on Pond #20 most days and around 6,000 Northern Pintail are roosting overnight on gei wai #16/17.

But shouldn't we be worried about your safety while carrying out essential bird work? We wouldn't want anyone to contract a fatal illness for the sake of an accurate BfS count!

Just a quick question, I thought the reserve was closed to all except WWF staff, how are visitors and birders etc getting sightings on the reserve  (as per your last post). Personally when the reserve is closed to all except WWF isn't it better not to report the bird sightings.

kmike

I guess the line at the top is a standard one on all postings for Mai Po, and that they are actually WWF staff records.

Also let remember that the Government  Centre for Disease Prevention rules on closing Mai Po are utterly foolish. Mai Po, with 1 case 2km away  is closed, but Tuen Mun park with 2 cases inside the park is open!

Its hard to respect such inconsistency, especially when the leading disease experts in Hong Kong say there is a microscopic risk of catching bird flu from wild birds (0 cases worldwide tells the story!!)

Finally, even if we are not allowed in, its interesting to know what is there - please keep the information coming!

Cheers

Dear Bob and Mike,

Just to add a bit more to your comments.

Our postings include bird records from Mai Po Nature Reserve and surrounding areas such as Lut Chau, the ponds beside the Mai Po access road and Deep Bay. These areas outside the reserve boundary are not affected by the Mai Po Nature Reserve closure and their inclusion in the posting is something that "evolved" over the years.

I think if anything we should change the name from "Bird Records from Mai Po Nature Reserve" to "Bird Records from Mai Po" or "Bird Records from Mai Po Nature Reserve and surrounds" to avoid confusion and accurately reflect the records in each posting.

Also as Mike points out, bird records from within Mai Po Nature Reserve during the closure period are made by WWF staff carrying out field research work. I do think it is in the interest of all birdwatchers to know what birds are inside the reserve during closure periods, so we will continue to include these in our postings.

Hope this clarifies the matter.

Bena Smith

Bena,

Thanks for the update, I queried the posting only because last time the reserve was closed it was decided not to post
