A suitably-distanced masked, precautionary boat trip led us to a regular stream of Terns, eight species heading northeastwards included Little, Aleutian,Bridled,Black-naped,Common,Gull-billed, Greater Crested Tern and Caspian Tern. Aleutian Tern Common Tern Greater Crested Tern Little Tern Arctic Skuas (Parasitic Jaegers) were present, too... Short-tailed Shearwaters are passing through HK waters now. This was the closest.. "Also-seens" included Red-necked Phalarope.. Several example of "Visible Migration" included this group of Cattle Egret, possibly arrived from the Philippines
