團隊從2023年10月至2024年3月間，在春水國家公園內進行了23次實地考察，收集水鳥及候鳥的族群數據。其中亦包括2024年1月19日至21日進行的2024年黑臉琵鷺普查。今次普查一共記錄了53種水鳥，其中39種是遷徙涉禽，而有 18 種屬全球受脅／近危物種，包括相隔兩年再次記錄極度瀕危嘅勺嘴鷸、瀕危物種包括黑臉琵鷺、小青腳鷸、大濱鷸、以及近危物種包括羅紋鴨、黑尾塍鷸、斑尾塍鷸、白腰杓鷸、半蹼鷸、紅腹濱鷸及紅頸濱鷸等等。
在計劃期間，春水國家公園內的離岸島嶼Con Xanh單日錄得最多超過 2,000 隻水鳥。在2023年12月27日更記錄到101隻黑臉琵鷺，是春水國家公園有史以來最多的個體數量記錄。調查結果繼續證明了越南春水國家公園對於遷徙水鳥的重要性。
香港觀鳥會十分榮幸能繼續支持春水國家公園進行水鳥監察項目，希望收集所得的數據能有效反映濕地對遷徙水鳥的重要性。若各位希望支持及了解更多「香港觀鳥會亞洲自然保育基金」的工作，歡迎瀏覽https://www.hkbws.org.hk/cms/acf。
Monitoring populations of Black-faced Spoonbill and migratory waterbirds wintering in Xuan Thuy National Park, Vietnam 2023/24
In year 2023-24, HKBWS ACF continues to fund the Xuan Thuy National Park for waterbird monitoring. The project ‘Monitoring populations of Black-faced Spoonbill and migratory waterbirds wintering in Xuan Thuy National Park, Vietnam’ aims to collect the bird count data of Black-faced Spoonbill and other waterbirds, especially endangered species. Thus, a long-term monitoring database can be built, which could provide a solid ground for conservation measures in Vietnam.
The monitoring programme was carried out from October 2023 to March 2024, consisting of 23 field days of survey, including the International Black-faced Spoonbill Census 2024. This year, a total of 53 waterbirds species have been recorded, with 39 migratory birds’ species, including 18 species that are globally threatened or near-threatened. Notable records include the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper, endangered Black-faced Spoonbill, endangered Nordmann's Greenshank, endangered Great Knot, as well as 7 near-threatened species: Falcated Duck, Black-tailed Godwit, Bar-tailed Godwit, Eurasian Curlew, Asian Dowitcher, Red Knot and Red-necked Stint.
Nevertheless, maximum daily counts of migratory birds with more than 2,000 individuals were in Con Xanh, one of the two offshore islands within Xuan Thuy National Park in winter 2023-2024. The census of Black-faced Spoonbill 2024 on 19-21 January 2024 recorded 81 BFS individuals, the highest number recorded during the season was 101 birds on December 27, 2023, the largest ever in Xuan Thuy National Park.
HKBWS is honoured to support the monitoring work in Xuan Thuy National Park consecutively, and we hope that the data collected will reflect the park's importance to migratory waterbirds in the flyway.
