I guess it's a kind of Terns. I captured them in Sai Kung harbour. « Last Edit: Feb 8th, 2006, 9:41pm by Steenheilesen » Logged Mike Kilburn Committee Member BBS God     Posts: 334 Re: Tern??? « Reply #1 on: Feb 8th, 2006, 9:10pm » Quote Modify No picture - makes it a little tricky!   Cheers   Mike Logged Mike Kilburn Vice Chairman Chairman - ConservationCommittee HKBWS 深藍 Owen BBS Administrator LOVE KINGFISHER~!     Gender: Posts: 1358 Re: Tern??? « Reply #2 on: Feb 8th, 2006, 9:16pm » Quote Modify he forgot to enable the direct link function, may try to find those photos from his albumn :     http://www.fotop.net/Steenheilesen/ternbird/birds_5354 Logged ___________________ http://www.i-owen.com 香港昆蟲網 http://hkinsect.net/forum Little Dolphin BBS Member BBS God Man and Nature, harmony forever     Gender: Posts: 248 Re: Tern??? « Reply #3 on: Feb 8th, 2006, 9:31pm » Quote Modify They are plovers, not terns. I'd say they are Little Ringed Plover, because of the a complete white collar around the neck of each bird and a complete black breast band beneath the white collar. « Last Edit: Feb 8th, 2006, 9:31pm by Little Dolphin » Logged Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. --- John Donne (1572-1631) Steenheilesen BBS Member BBS Junior Member I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 18 Re: Tern??? « Reply #4 on: Feb 8th, 2006, 9:48pm » Quote Modify Sorry about the missing link. It's should be ok now. Thanks for the reply, I also found them too small. They suddently show up and settle down on the rocks. But a beautiful scenery to see them flying around. « Last Edit: Feb 8th, 2006, 9:48pm by Steenheilesen » Logged Koel_Ko BBS Member BBS God I love birds!!     Gender: Posts: 222 Re: Tern??? « Reply #5 on: Feb 15th, 2006, 6:14am » Quote Modify Actually they look like Kentish - note absence of eyering, black feet, reddish crown on a few of them, and if you zoom the pic in the breastband is incomplete.   Logged miket BBS Member BBS God I'd rather be birding!     Posts: 257 Re: Tern??? « Reply #6 on: Feb 15th, 2006, 10:29pm » Quote Modify I think they're Kentish too - small nos. are fairly regular during migration periods at least, just east of Sai Kung harbour at the beach off the old Beach Resort Hotel.     Of course any picture you might have showing the upperwing  would clinch this - Kentish has a wing-bar and LRP does not.   Mike Turnbull Logged Little Dolphin BBS Member BBS God Man and Nature, harmony forever     Gender: Posts: 248 Re: Tern??? « Reply #7 on: Feb 15th, 2006, 11:44pm » Quote Modify Oh... Thanks Koel and Mike. I tried zooming in the picture but still can't see the breast-band clearly.
