WATCHERS

Hongkong bird-watchers may be active on Sunday morning and evening to record the dawn and dusk chorus of birds throughout the Colony.

This information has been asked for by the World Bird Research Station at Glanton, Northumberland, England, who have included the Colony in their round-the-world observa- tion plan.

The Bird Research Station have sent correspondence to all parts of the globe, asking local bird-watchers to record the first and last bird songs on Sunday, May 17.

The secretary of the research station states that a good dawn or dusk recurd is a volushie plece of original informa- tion.

LOCAL PARTICIPATION

But he adds that the value of such a record is enhanced by un full detalls as possible such as position, accurate tinte, height above sea level, laillude or longitude, and number of singers of each species of bird (dentified.

The secretary of the langkong Bird-Watching Soclety, Commander Jim Humphries of HMS Tamar, said this morning that he had not yet been informed of this observa- tion.

But he added, "Now that we do know, I hope we will be able to get some local participation in this world-wide event."
