Media notes
Adult moulting into non-breeding plumage. Remarks: I joined one of the Chinese Crested Tern surveys organized by Xiamen Bird Watching Society (XBWS) at a sandflat at Min River Estuary, Fujian. One individual was observed. The bird at the estuary was first discovered by XBWS on 8 August 2004. Regular surveys are being conducted by the XBWS under the support of RSPB (Oct 2003 - Jan 2005) and WWF (May 2004 - Mar 2006). Some other recent sightings of the bird are as below (extracted from "China Bird Watch" 2005.05, data sourced from XBWS): 4 June 2004 - a breeding pair mating at Min River Estuary 18 June 2004 - a pair at Min River Estuary. Equipment: Nikon Coolpix 4500 + Swarovski telescope + Kowa telescope. Date added to OBI: July 25, 2005.
