Recent update of S21
Dr. Lee from South Korea gave us the most updated news of S21, it already left HK on 26 May. It started its journey on early morning, arrived to Putian at night and Fuzhou on 27 May. Fujian was the place tht S21 stayed during the southern migration in last October. S21 spent more than half of year from 5th Nov to 25th May. It mainly stayed in Mai Po for roosting and spent time in Wetland Park and Nam Sang Wai in daytime. In May, S21 incresed the frequency to visit tidal mudflat. This is a interesting finding, hope that a further study can be carry on in the future.

A26 also reported in breeding which was carrying 2 chicks from Dr Lee. This bird was at least 16 years old since banding. It would be the oldest bird for wild banded breeding record!!!
