Title: Black-faced Spoonbill in Tai Po
Post by Alex_Tung on Jan 15^th, 2003, 6:41pm

This is the second time I see a BfS flying with Little Egrets in the sky near the shore of Kwong Fuk Estate Tai Po.  ???

That flying BfS just 50m away from me, so I am quite sure about it.

I wonder if anybody see BfS around Tolo Harbour?

Hi Alex,

Can you provide more detailed information with your observations? Did you see the bird with binoculars or telescope? Can you postivitely identify the bird as a Black-faced, not Eurasian?

Regards
Tung

Hi Tung,

I just saw them by naked eyes. But the distance was quite close, so i was sure it was Spoonbill...

But I really can't tell if it is Black-face or European, I will pay attention on that if I see it next time. I will post message here if i get any news.
