Yat-tung Yu and John C.T. Chung: Hong Kong Bird Watching Society

Yat-tung Yu and John C.T. Chung, with the team of the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society, has continued banding Bridled Terns (Onychoprion anaethetus) in Hong Kong for eight consecutive years as of 2024. In summer 2024, a total of 63 Bridled Tern adults (6 individuals) and chicks (57 individuals) were caught and banded. Three adults were also fitted with the GPS trackers for studying their home ranges throughout the breeding season. All these terns, except five, were also fitted with engraved colour flags for population demography study. This colour-marked and tracking study of breeding Bridled Terns will be continued in the summer of 2025.
