The second bird was seen near Po Toi last year during a typhoon.
BUT in July 2021 we now appear to have two different Brown Noddys ("Noddies "?)at the same time in HK.
A bird - HK’s third - that has been around for 3-4 weeks in Mirs Bay - presently delighting photographers east of Tap Mun Island.

AND FOURTH, found by people last week tern-watching on the Cheung Chau to Central Ferry, this bird I photographed today, 21st July, also from the back of the public ferry.
Five photos of this very worn and abraded individual, and a couple of shots of one of the ferries (just like ours)
- someone going the other way seems to be looking out for the Noddy, too !
What would life be without a rarity here and there? Great coverage, John.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David - the Brown Noddy made my week !
DeleteWish I had seen one! My HK ferry birding experience hasn't added up to much - probably should have kept off the beer! Great pics by the way!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeremy, - with a “tinny” at the back you might have had both beer AND seabirds !
DeleteSaw this on Facebook, glad you could connect with it too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stu - I got lucky with this one, “scored” on my first ferry trip...
