Not much during the day but nice to see the Brown Fish Owl perch on a lamp post at night.

Great find Brendan. Where was it? Near the field or the river???
brendank 11/05/2011 00:20
Thanks. Near the river but I think the owls could go almost anywhere at Pui O. I think these birds must have a huge territory.
fatchun 11/05/2011 01:00
I think so. I know it could appear even in Chi Ma Wan.
brendank 11/05/2011 17:50
Suspect they nest on the rocky bluff between Chi Ma Wan and Pui O. There are some step cliffs which most have some ideal nesting spots.
