摘要
In undertaking regular surveys on those waterbirds appearing on Fujian coast and on offshore islands,people of Xiamen Bird-watching Society had observed,for five times during 2007-2009,three marked individuals of the Roseate Tern (Sterna dougallii) on Caiyu Archipelago of south Fujian offshore; it is now quite certain that the leg-flags were marked on birds by people of the Australasian Wader Studies Group (AWSG) and at least one of those leg-flagged terns is already over six or seven years old by the time of re-sighting; this record might be useful and helpful for further estimating the life circle as well as the length of generation of those gulls and terns appearing and breeding along the SE Chinese coast,such as the Black-tailed Gull (Larus crassirostris),the Great Crested Tern (Sterna bergii),the Chinese Crested Tern (S.bernsteini),etc.
在厦门观鸟会对出现于福建沿海及近海岛屿的水鸟做例行调查时,于2007年至2009年的3年间先后5次在福建南部漳浦县古雷镇附近的菜屿列岛上发现有被环志(包括旗标)的粉红燕鸥(Sterna dougallii)个体,目前已知对其施以脚旗标志系由澳大利亚澳–亚涉禽研究组(AWSG)所为,同时表明佩戴旗标的个体中至少有一只其年龄当在6龄或7龄以上;这一记录连同遗鸥环志个体10年以上的存活记录将对估算繁殖于东南沿海地区的黑尾鸥(Larus crassirostris)、大凤头燕鸥(Sterna bergii)、黑嘴端凤头燕鸥(S. bernsteini)等种类的生命周期和世代长度有所借鉴。
