“發泡膠上的亞洲水鳥 Asian Waterbirds on Styrofoam” / 自然 Nature / SML.20130503.6D.03801.SQ

An Asian waterbird found a piece of trash floating on Tolo Harbour for a brief rest during the stormy weather in Hong Kong.

 

These birds are currently being protected by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) as well as the WWF.

 

I saw a lot of them last year outside my window and had thought that they were seagulls, but a Swedish friend on Facebook corrected me on this. I had no idea that they are so rare.

 

This is an extreme crop because while I tried many times to photograph them on the sea level, I could not and so I photographed this one from the 27th floor.

 

Hopefully I will see more of these later this year.
