Dear birdwatchers,
Wintering Black-faced Spoonbills are returning to the Deep Bay area. Some birds are fitted with colour rings on their legs and sightings of these colour-ringed BFS are very important for understanding their movement and home range. A ringed Black-faced Spoonbill S39 was sighted on 25 Oct, 2014. This bird was ringed at South Korea last summer and this is the first sighting of S39 in Hong Kong. Dear birdwatchers,If you encounter any of these ringed BFS, please report the bird with information of the position ('above' or 'below' the ankle, left or right leg) and colour (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, White, etc) of the ring(s).
You could post the information here, or better you can register at our online database (HKBWS Ringed BFS Record System) and enter your sightings into it:

We would very much appreciate your help!

各位鳥友:
更多越冬的黑臉琵鷺將重返后海灣地區。有些鳥的腿上配有顏色的腳環，有助了解牠們的遷徙和活動範圍。如果你有看到這些有彩環的黑臉琵鷺，請報告腳環的位置（“上面”或“低於”腳踝，左或右腿）和環的顏色（藍，綠，紅，黃，白等), 以及日期(時間)和地點。
你可以選擇在這裡發佈信息，亦請在我們的網上數據庫(香港觀鳥會黑臉琵鷺記錄系統)登記及輸入你的目擊報告：

謝謝大家的幫忙!
