香港绿会表示，一名观鸟者在劳工节假期期间目击五人登陆靠近蒲苔岛的无人岛，该岛为燕鸥繁殖地。绿会警告，此类扰动可能导致燕鸥放弃巢穴。该事件发生在假期第二天。
非营利组织绿会香港（Green Hope Hong Kong）在其网上帖子中报道，一名观鸟者在劳工节“黄金周”假期第二天目击五人登陆该无人岛，他们卸下背包和其他物品。身份尚不清楚。
绿会表示：“这些鸟类天生极度敏感；若受扰动，它们可能放弃巢穴。一旦放弃岛上繁殖地，未来很难返回。”该组织敦促船只运营商和游客在生态敏感期避免运送访客至燕鸥繁殖岛或登陆。
燕鸥主要以小鱼和空中昆虫为食，全球约有40种，香港记录12种。其中三种夏季在香港外岛岩石上繁殖，其中一种靠近蒲苔岛。农业渔业及保育署（AFCD）指出，燕鸥定期在香港东部和南部水域的小型偏远岩岛繁殖。
