The Wetland Reserve located on the west side of the Taipa-Coloane Causeway is an important wintering area for the Black-faced Spoonbill ( Platalea minor). The population size of Black-faced Spoonbill wintering at the Wetland Reserve has increased annually. Surveys conducted in the winters from 2007 to 2009 indicated that the Black-faced Spoonbill wintered in Macao from early November to April. Wintering populations were largest from December to February,exceeding 50 individuals. The artificial wetland is the primary rest areas for Black-faced Spoonbills,while tidal flats serve as important feeding-grounds. Daytime behavior consists mainly of resting,followed by maintenance. Traffic noise is the main human disturbance around the Wetland Reserve,but the level of noise was relatively low. The predicted value of traffic noise at the Black-faced Spoonbills’habitat were 45. 4 dB( A) and 46. 5 dB( A),below the threshold of avian tolerance. Most alarm behaviors were caused by large tractors and helicopters. With rapid infrastructure development around the Wetland Reserve,traffic flow will be further increased. Controlling the surrounding traffic flow and adjusting the flight course of helicopters to detour around the airspace at the Wetland Reserve is suggested as part of a management plan for decreasing disturbance on wintering Black-faced Spoonbills at the Wetland Reserve of Macao.
