Two Lesser White-fronted Geese were found at fish ponds at Lo Ma Chau. This is the first confirmed record in Hong Kong. The bird is vulnerable globally, with a worldwide population of 25,000 to 30,000. Its number dropped by 20% to 40% in the last 10 years. About 16,000 winter at Lake Dongting where they are often shot – still not given protection status in China.
