It was rather disappointing that no kettle (wheeling activity) was observed during the visits to Castle Rock (Po Toi Rock) from around 10:30-11:30am and then 3-4pm on 26th August 2014. The number of terns was limited to a few dozens, comprising mainly bridled and black-naped terns.  Only one roseate tern was observed.  Probably the main body of the terns has already left?

By the way, the seafood restaurant at Po Toi Island is good though a bit expensive.
