Green group warns of disturbance to uninhabited island known for breeding seabirds

A green group, Green Hope Hong Kong, has raised concerns after a bird watcher reported seeing people landing on an uninhabited island in southern Hong Kong waters. The incident occurred on the second day of mainland China's Labour Day "golden week" holiday. The island is a known breeding site for terns, a type of seabird that relies on such undisturbed locations for nesting. Five individuals were observed unloading backpacks and other items onto the island. The identities of these individuals are currently unknown. The group highlights the potential disturbance to the breeding seabirds as the primary concern.
