The biggest news in nature circles in Taiwan in recent years is surely that in June 2000, when nature photographer Liang Chieh-te was making a documentary film about the summer-resident greater crested tern population on Matsu, he unexpectedly discovered Chinese crested terns there. Only five sightings of Chinese crested terns had ever previously been recorded anywhere in the world.
台灣生態界近年來最大的新聞大概就是，去年六月份，生態攝影家梁皆得受連江縣政府之託在馬祖拍攝夏候鳥燕鷗群的紀錄影片，意外發現史上僅有過五筆資料的黑嘴端鳳頭燕鷗。
