Title: Breeding Terns Survey Ác´Þ¿PÅÃ½Õ¬d
Post by HF_Cheung on Apr 30^th, 2004, 4:14pm

The first flock of Bridled Tern in the "Tern Island" (the usual Tern Breeding site in Mirs Bay) this year was seen on 27 April 2004.  35 were seen in a tight flying flock and 4 other on open sea.  10 Black-naped Tern were also seen at Tap Mun and Kung Chau on that day.  On the same day, 3 Aleutian Tern were seem in the same area.

On 24 April, only 1 Black-naped Tern was seen in Tap Mun.

When you go to the breeding islands, please do not disturb the Terns.

This year we like to collect more information from Ninepins and Soko Island.  If any of you go there and find some or no Terns, that is important data, and please send us a note. APCheung@CityU.edu.hk

The weekly terns survey was taken place on 29 May. Results are:

Black-naped Tern: Total 135
Roseate Tern: Total 46
Bridled Tern: Total 348

Other interested records include:
1 Ancient Auk at Tolo Harbour,
3 Common Terns at Tap Mun,
1 Little Tern near Kung Chau.

Breeding activities including territorial behaviour and pairing of Roseate Terns were observed. Also, one bird carrying a single white flag on tarsus of right leg was seen. This bird was received the flag from Australia and a bird (perhaps same individual) with same flag was also seen in summer 2003.
