When wildlife filmmaker Liang Chieh-te was shooting a documentary on a small, uninhabited island in the Matsu group in 2000, he unexpectedly discovered four adult pairs with four chicks among a flock of greater crested terns. The news shook the international bird-watching community, as it was the first record worldwide of the species reproducing.
