Two asian waterbirds chasing the tail of a Keka-class patrol boat of the Hong Kong Marine police launch at Tolo Harbour in Hong Kong. I think that I might be able to complete the full line-up by year end. :)

 

According to Wikipedia, Keka class patrol boats are vessels designed by ASC Pty. Ltd. (formerly named Australian Submarine Corporation) originally for the Royal Thai Navy (3 vessels). A second variant series was designed for the Hong Kong Marine Police (6 vessels) [1].

 

Also, please note that the “seagulls” referenced earlier on the stream are apparently all asian waterbirds. I just didn’t realise that. And apparently they are under WWF protection [3].

 

Regarding the black and white processing, I know that it is a bit of extreme. But doing scientific reproduction too long and I get bored. So a bit of fun for me.
