Author: HKBWS Bonnie Time: 1/09/2009 12:11 Subject: 請幫忙留意彩色腳旗 Plz help to record flagged shorebirds

來自大陸的消息:

今年秋季沧州开始使用上蓝下黄旗标组合环志鸻鹬类涉禽，目前已经环志了700余只，由于天津也使用这个组合，所以沧州的黄色旗标有剪角. 沧州多年来在孟德榮老师的努力下，环志成效很高，现在使用了彩色旗标，相信观察回收率会有很大提高的，在此表示祝贺！！！

请各地鸟友帮忙观察，若有发现请联系（孟德荣：mengderong84@163.com）、（白清泉：bqqwhite@163.com），谢谢！

News from mainland China:

Cangzhou, Hebei Province, started using blue and yellow flags to ring the shorebirds this autumn. They have already ringed 700 individuals. Since the colour combination is the same as that in Tianjin, the yellow flag is cut at corner.

If you discover any shorebirds with this combination, please contact Mr. Meng Derong (mengderong84@163.com) and Mr. Bai Qingquan (bbqwhite@163.com).

Thank you~

One Greater Sandplover with white (upper) and yellow (lower) on the right leg was seen on a mudlfat at Sha tau Kok this afternoon (19 Sept 2009).

It is a bit away and I identified it based on its large size. Is it a HK ringed bird?

Yes, this must a HK bird. It's unusual to get records away from the Deep Bay area, and I'm sure this must be the first from Sha Tau Kok. Could you see if the flags were fresh - we have flagged a few GSP this autumn, but it is perhaps more likely that this is a bird flagged in a previous year.

Author: wcaptain Time: 20/09/2009 22:04

The flags are still sharp and colourful. Yes, the first time of recording flagged shorebirds at Sha Tau Kok. Captain

Great photo!
I think this bird was banded in Yancheng NNR,Jiangsu province,China.A total of Three sites have band sauders's gull in China mainland,as far as know.

1、Shuangtaizihekou NNR,Panjin,Liaoning province. one leg with an engraved Red flag and a color-band on another leg(recent years). to get Both the flag number and the color of the color-band can id the individuals. they tied only a red-band on the leg some years ago,the gulls must be old birds if still alive.
2、Huanghe delta NNR，Dongying，Shandong province. one leg with an engraved green flag
3、Yancheng NNR，Jiangsu province. one leg with an engraved blue flag

Except china,Japan also banding saunder'gull, one leg with a Yellow engraved flag,as far as know.

kestrel！Thank you so much for your sharing! Useful information!

嘗試翻譯了 kestrel 的資料，如有錯誤，請大家不吝指正，謝謝！

kestrel認為此黑嘴鷗（sauders's gull）是在中國江蘇省鹽城國家級自然保護區（Yancheng NNR,Jiangsu province,China）被環誌的。據kestrel所知中國共有3個地方有環誌過黑嘴鷗，包括：

1) 在遼寧省（Liaoning province）盤錦（Panjin）的雙台河口國家級自然保護區（Shuangtaizihekou NNR）。近年來這保護區會在黑嘴鷗的一隻腳套上紅色的腳旗，而另一隻腳則套上顏色色環，如可得知腳旗上的編號及色環的顏色，則可知道該黑嘴鷗的身份。數年前，保護區只在海鷗的腳上套上紅色色環。

2) 山東省（Shandong province）東營（Dongying）的黃河三角州國家級自然保護區（Huanghe delta NNR），保護區會為雀鳥套上綠色的腳旗。

3) 江蘇省鹽城國家級自然保護區（Yancheng NNR,Jiangsu province）），保護區會為雀鳥套上藍色的腳旗。

除了中國外，日本亦有為黑嘴鷗做環誌研究，他們會為雀鳥套上黃色腳旗。

A few Hong Kong flagged birds today from the boardwalk included:

Some of these must be returning migrants

John, I think the first of your pictures shows the flag combination black over white, indicating a bird flagged in Shanghai.
The second is from Australia, and the lettering will be unique to this individual. If you contact the AWSG (http://www.awsg.org.au/index.php), they should be able to provide more details of this individual.

Author: John Holmes Time: 1/04/2010 14:24 Subject: Australian Flagged Shorebirds

John A.,

Thanks for the reminder, I've reported Great Knot "KUU" on the form at the website you linked to, and another one, "KDB" seen on 30th March.

I'll Email Tung about the Shanghai (Chongming Dao ?) flags in case he's missed this thread.

Yes, it is a first record of a Terek Sandpiper in this colour combination.

I think it is flagged at Sumatra, Indonesia.

Thanks
Wazy

Author: yyattung Time: 28/04/2010 00:08

The colour combination of flegs are actually white above and yellow below. However, birds in HK always need to wade over muddy water in Deep Bay and so flegs would be covered by mud after some time and become yellow and 'darker' yellow.

This bird is fitted with flegs in Hong Kong.

Thanks for your report.
