Another of the birds which was tagged (ring number A36) has been seen in Macau this winter - there is another posting on the Bulletin Board which shows this bird. The tag has already fallen off, which shows that these tags should hopefully not stay as long as the backpack-style tag which can still be seen on A21.   Sightings of colour-ringed spoonbills such as these are useful for building up a picture of their behaviour over successive winters.  It would be very useful if any sightings could be reported to Yu Yat-Tung or posted on the bulletin board Logged John Allcock Guest Re: COLOUR RINGED BFS « Reply #4 on: Nov 17th, 2003, 11:44am » Quote Modify Remove Further to my previous message, you may also be interested to know that A35 was also observed at Chongming Island near Shanghai on 2nd April 2003. This site is 1300km from Hong Kong.
