Chinese Barbet in TPK !!!
Yu Yat Tung and Sung Yik Hei found this bird on the last day of 2014, but this bird was finally photographed after three months.
The call of this bird was firstly heard by Bond Shum on Tue and HKBWS research team also heard that yesterday when conducting the survey in TPK.
Finally, the bird was heard again at 1100 am this morning when the research team was conducting the survey. HKBWS researcher Ying Hak King found it finally at Yellow-brown walk near the short cut to Blue walk. Luckily, this bird was finally photographed by him and me.
*Hints to found the bird: Please follow the call of the bird!!!
