Dear all,
The January of 2004 is a remarkable moment for the globally endangered Black-faced Spoonbill. A total of 1206 individuals were counted indicating that the population is recovering from the brink of extinction in early 1990s. However, the Black-faced Spoonbill is still facing various threats in its breeding, staging and wintering grounds. The annual census on the wintering population of the spoonbill can provide an annual comparable figure which is one of the key components for conservation of this endangered species.
I am pleased to inform you that the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society (HKBWS) continues to coordinate the International Black-faced Spoonbill Census this winter. The dates of the census are fixed on 21-23 January 2005.
To help our preparations, please kindly advise us whether you will be participating in the coming census. Please reply to hkbws@hkbws.org.hk and bfspoonbill@hkbws.org.hk .
For the last report of the census and updated information are available at the Black-faced Spoonbill homepage at http://www.hkbws.org.hk/bfs/ , you are also welcome to post your finding of the species in this Black-faced Spoonbill Newsgroup at http://www.hkbws.org.hk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Spoonbill
With best regards,
