Title: Black-faced Spoonbill at Mai Po
Post by Samson So on Jun 20^th, 2003, 4:22pm

There were six BFS in pond 16/17 (Mai Po) this morning.  

Some other waders and terns were still around, including:
Whimbrel, Curlew, Caspian Tern and Black-winged Stilt.

Is this normal at this time of the year, Samson? ???

There were eight BFS last month as I recall. Now six left ...

Hi KK,

Yes, it is. There were some cases of young spoonbills over-summering in the past. Now, all these six BFS are young birds.
