Dear all, I would like to inform you the result of the 2013 International Black-faced Spoonbill Census. After a big boost in the previous year, we have a slight increase of the total number of Black-faced Spoonbill this year. We recorded a total of 2,725 individuals, having an increase of 1.2% (32 individuals) relative to the previous year (2,693 individuals). The figure keeps rising and it is a new high figure for the species. Tainan area is still the largest wintering site of Black-faced Spoonbill with a number of 1,593 individuals. And the whole Taiwan contributed to around 60% of the total wintering population. The figures of mainland China and Taiwan increased while the figures of Deep Bay (Hong Kong and Shenzhen) and Japan decreased. Numbers of Black-faced Spoonbills recorded in different areas are as follows: Taiwan: 1,624 (1,562 in 2012, increase 4%) Mainland China (including Hainan): 363 (328 in 2012, increase 11%) Deep Bay (Hong Kong and Shenzhen): 351 (393 in 2012, decrease 11%) Japan: 277 (284 in 2012, decrease 3%) Macao: 48 (51 in 2012, decrease 6%) Vietnam: 39 (35 in 2012, increase 11%) South Korea: 23 (40 in 2012, decrease 43%) Cambodia: 0 (none recorded during in 2012 census) Thailand: ? (none recorded during 2012 census) I would like to thank all the surveyors to participate the census in this year. This census could not be that successful if volunteer surveyors did not offer helps. I also thank all the countries or site coordinators to help coordination of the census in their sites/areas. The report for the 2013 census will be prepared in the following months. You will be informed when it is done and ready for downloading. Best regards, Helen Fong The Hong Kong Bird Watching Society |
