Mark Barter, who had made outstanding contribution to waterbird conservation in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway passed away on 22nd November. He had put great effort in promoting waterbird monitoring in China, especially in Yangtze River region. Many bird watchers from China coastal areas had participated in surveys led by Mr. Barter before. Perhaps this is the seed to the later establishment of the China Coastal Waterbird Census, which the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society is involving.
