Thanks to Alan Chan for leading the outing.
About 32 people joined the outing. The boat was not large enough to support a larger crowd. Some beginning birdwatchers suffered sea sick despite a relatively calm sea.
Good numbers of terns were seen, despite a very high level of holiday fishering activities.
Counts were:
Shek Ngau Chau
Bridled Tern 150 (difficult to count because only small number flew out regularly).
Roseate Tern 9
Black-naped Tern 30 adults + 9 juveniles
