今天共有 50 人參加塔門觀鳥活動，
早上天氣不錯，可以見到藍天白雲，只是風浪較大。
我們先探訪在吐露港內長駐的白腹海鵰，
然後到大鵬灣看三種在本港繁殖的燕鷗。
正午往塔門午飯時開始下大雨，到下午二時多才停止，
午飯後經東部水域往西貢，船在風浪和大雨中前進，
給大家一個難得的經歷。
回到西貢內海後風浪和雨都消退了，
大家可以近距離拍攝一隻高高在上的白腹海鵰，
上岸前更遇到一群黑枕混雜鬚浮鷗在碼頭附近覓食，
又拍到白腹海鵰打刧麻鷹的精彩鏡頭。

50 people took part in today's outing to Tap Mun.
The morning began promisingly with a blue sky with a wide variety of clouds, but the sea was a bit rough.
After seeing the resident WBSE at Tolo Channel, we went straight for the breeding terns at Mirs Bay.
Heavy rain came just before noon when we had lunch at Tap Mun and didn't stop until around 14:30.
We had a rough but interesting ride from Tap Mun to Sai Kung over the eastern waters.
When everything calmed down after Sor See Mun, we had good views of a perched WBSE and a group of foraging Black-napeds and Whiskereds.
Just before we landed, we witnessed the Yeung Chau WBSE robbing a Black Kite.
