I am sending you the sad story about the death of H15 which has been tracked from Namdongji, Incheon, June-20, 2015. 

H15(Green-Orange band) has died on the East China Sea during the northern migration from Hsinchu, Taiwan.

H15 tried to migrate to north for several times started from Dingshan, wintering place at April-16. But it has failed to cross over the China Sea back to Hsinchu at April-19, and again at May-9. It has tried again to cross over the China Sea at May-11 and could go to the coast of Hangzhou. But it changed the direction to off shore and again south. 

I don't know the reason why H15 has changed the direction. but it could be caused by the bad weather and windward strong wind.

It has flown over 1,000km during 42 hours without any stop.  It could be getting exhausted, and fell down to the sea. Now it is moving by the current and looks like drowned.

It is so pity.  The northern migration could  be also very difficult to the young birds.

Please let me know about the weather during 11 ~13th May at the East China Sea if you can.

The tracking other birds are still doing well. 

S21 has arrived on the born island (Gujido) at May 14.

H02 has stopped on Rudong, China.

H22 has stopped on Hangzhou.

H65 has succeeded to go up to the coast of Dongtai at May-11 even if it was born at last year.

We are going to release 4 young BFSpoonbills on Namdongji, Incheon at June-3. They were rescued before being drowned in the nest at last year. One of them has been hatched from Seoul Zoo, and 2 birds has been rescued when they were small chicks on the nest, and last one has injured the wing after being fledged. They were cared at Zoo for 1 years.
