I saw an immature Eurasian Oystercatcher from the new boardwalk hide on the rising tide at about 4 pm yesterday (6 Dec).

10 Dec 2011

6 Northern Lapwing (Pond 16/17)
1 Pied Harrier (access road)

and I nearly stepped on a (the) 3 meter python.

Dear Brendan

I hope you're not wearing shorts when you met your python. Got any shot of the snake, you lucky guy?

S L Tai

It was way too cold for shorts yesterday. Even the snake I think was cold and had come out to bask in the sunlight.

Here is it head

and here is its midsection covering spanning the entire trail near the buffalo ponds

Nice found and nice photo Brendan!

Thanks for reporting it here, we do keep a database of the snakes seen in the Reserve.

Cheers,
Katherine

15 Jan 2012

A little wet today. A juvenile Slaty-breasted Rail was seen for a second from the boardwalk near the education center. At pond #16/17 an adult Purple Heron.

Good numbers of birds from the boardwalk including:

3 Great Knot
1 Ruddy Turnstone
1 Greater Sandplover
120 Dunlin
45 Pacific Golden Plover
40 Grey Plover
31 Saunders Gull
2 Mongolian Gull
1 Eastern Marsh Harrier

Excellent shots of that frigatebird! I think it is Greater...
It won't last long, I think.

I think it is a Lesser Frigatebird. And judging by the damage to the left tail feathers I would say it is likely the same individual seen at the peak in the Autumn.

Take a look at this photo from Matthew from the peak:

[img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/EVO_08/IMG_6782-2.jpg[/img]

I think these illustrates what huge ranges Frigatebirds have!

[[i] Last edited by brendank at 18/01/2012 00:33 [/i]]

Based on the white belly and lower arm pits, would it not be more likely a Christmas Island juvenile (2y)?

I don't think it is the same bird as at the Peak, as the white is much more extensive.

Here are a few record shots from a friend, one with a kite it was playing with.

Thanks a lot

I would say the the amount of white seen from your picture 6 and 7 is quite similar to the bird at peak. See this photo for example

[img]https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/316156_272059549487451_100000502243558_1196562_4600487_n.jpg[/img]

It may be impossible to prove it is the same individual but I still suspect it is. It seems in most pictures of Christmas Island frigatebird that juveniles do not have extensively white axilleries.  There are several photos of Christmas Island showing white axilleries at oriental birdclub images but I suspect they could be misidentified.

First-winter Slaty-backed Gull in front of the boardwalk today (20 Jan).

Maybe I am wrong with the Lesser Frigatebird, but WWF seems to be agreeing with what I thought earlier.3551a50445

Robson in his book indicates that juvenile Christmas Island and Lesser Frigatebird may only be identifiable by size. The wingspan of a Lesser Frigatebird would be slightly larger than a Black Kite while Christmas Island would be considerable larger. Given the shots next to the Black Kite I would guess size is consistent with Lesser.

About 15 Asian House Martin flying around the EC at lunchtime today. Bena.

Mai Po Boardwalk

7 Common Shelduck
1 Curlew Sandpiper
32 Great Knot
6 Red Knot
3 Bar-tailed Godwit
14 Dunlin
1 Kentish Plover
64 Hueglin Gull

I heard Baer's Pochard was also seen but I didn't look for it.

Baer's Pochard Feb 18, 2012

[img]http://www.i-owen.com/gallery2/g2data/albums/HKWildBirds/055_0/IMG_8650.jpg[/img]

This afternoon (Sunday February 19th) there was a winter-plumage White-winged Tern over the ponds along the access road. The earliest date on record is April 3rd, so this is an unusual occurrence.

David

Today on access road, two white-winged terns, a few red-rumped swallows. in pond 20, 2 Chinese Spot-billed Ducks

Ronaldo

Do you have any other photos of this tern & also any photos of the second tern that you saw today?

I would welcome informed comments on the ID of the tern in Ronaldo's photo.

David

I'm not an expert on this but bill shape and head pattern (has more of a dark eyeline rather than just a dark spot) seems to fit Whiskered Tern better to me. Any photos of the upperwings?

Incidently, during the bird race my team saw what must have been one of these two terns.

Brendan

Thanks. Yes, I think this is a Whiskered Tern - hence my last post. However, I don't think that this is the same bird as I saw on Sunday.

David

Here is a snapshot of one of the terns flying. the two terns were similar. We were hesitant on the id, but as david mentionned white-whiskered the day earlier, we went for it...
unfortunately, no shot of the two together as they were hunting quite far from the road, most of the time, and I can't guarantee that this is not the same tern as the previous one.

Also saw a few red turtle doves, inside Mai Po, that I forgot to mention in previous post.

Ronaldo

Thanks. Nice flight sequence of what is clearly a Whiskered Tern. As it's possible I made a mistake, I withdraw my claim of White-winged Tern.

I popped up the access road ponds this afternoon but unfortunately there were no signs of the terns. There were 25 Black-faced Spoonbills feeding on a drained pond and a Pacific Swift with the House Swifts.

David

I saw a Grey treepie near the pond #21. I think it is nor a common visitor of Mai Po.

Also, the Baer's Pochard is still there.

AS a matter of interest, are there any previous records of Grey Treepie at Mai Po (reported recently in latest WWF link)? If so, at what time of year?

Hi Mike,

There was one record coming in over the mangrove in Mai Po on 11 November 2001 in the Hong Kong Bird Report 2001-2002.

Cheers,
Tony

Probably the same bird as on the rising tide on the 8th March.

A couple of very distant photos to get the 2012 "SBS reporting season" started  ?
