Post subject:  Flock of terns

Saw a flock of terns tonight getting off 6.20 ferry from Central, flying around, diving, making a bit of a racket.

Thought i'd post as never seen them before - other twitchy folk may be interested.

I reckon they were black-naped terns but could have been mistaken.

Could well have been black-naped terns. There are terns in Hong Kong waters all the year round (a few species), but most of the time they are over in the north and eastern areas. They start roaming a bit more widely durng the summer months. LYC got a great shot (very difficult with such fast-moving targets) a couple of years back - see:

Yes...... saw the same flock - have been around the last couple of weeks - but no photos.
Managed to get this on Po Toi a week or so ago.
A pair of Black-naped were chasing a Black-eared Kite coz they had young in the area........
