Many BFS have come to Mai Po now, including several colour-ringed individuals. If you see any ringed BFS, Please post the information here or send it to me (bfspoon bill @hkbws.org.hk  *remove the space*).

By the way, the one ringed in North Korea in July 1995 was seen at Mai Po yesterday (6 Nov). So, it is in 12 years old now - the longest longevity record of wild BFS.

Hi Katherine,

I think It should be A23. More ringed BFS have started lost their plastic rings. I think we need to record the ring bird whether is adult or immature bird that give extra information to the identity of the bird.

Thanks
