Rough and wet weather at sea can bring more terns over the fishponds of the New Territories of Hong Kong.
“Marsh” Terns are the most frequently encountered. These Whiskered Terns were over fishponds near Mai Po this morning.

Less frequently encountered are Wild Boar. I disturbed this one between two fishponds and he (she ?) went ploughing off through the undergrowth, only returning when it thought it was safe.

A few strands of grass came between me and a clearer view, but then - if the animal had seen me - it would have turned tail and fled anyway.
Nice Tern shots John. The Boar looks a bit sacry............
