Hong Kong has just moved up to the top place on the leader board.  Not bad for a start.

Looks like there is some bug in the iNaturalist app, that many species observed by me on 28 April have not been counted in the total species under Hong Kong.  For instance, Chinese Egret, Greater Sand Plover, Lesser Sand Plover, Red-necked Stint, Ruddy Turnstone, Black-tailed Godwit, Kentish Plover, Red Knot, Caspian Tern, Gull-billed Tern, Far Eastern Curlew, Eurasian Curlew, Peregrine Falcon,etc.
In fact, I have made 108 observations in the 4-day period so far but the Hong Kong list only shows that I have made 49 observations.  Could it be because the app wrongly consider observations made on Deep Bay mudflats are not within Hong Kong territory and therefore discounted?

It has been confirmed that observations made near the northern bird hide on Deep Bay mudflats are not considered as observations within Hong Kong.  I suggest someone should urgently check with the organizer.
The 'Hong Kong boundary' indicated on the 'Map of Observations' on the competition web site (https://www.inaturalist.org/proj ... enge-2018-hong-kong ) is shown below:
