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

Kung Chau and Chik Chau
Bridled Tern about 10
Black-naped Tern 36

Tap Mun and Hoi Har area,
Bridled Tern a few
Roseate Tern 1
Black Naped Tern about 10 inlcuding 1 juvenile

Ching Chau and Kat O area
Black-naped Tern
18 adults + 1 juvenile

Plover cove to Lai Chi Chong area
Bridled Tern 4
Black-naped Tern about 10 adults + 1 juvenile
