Black Winged Kite 黑翅鳶 (record only )
This was stretching the technology of digiscoping a bit through the heat haze yesterday at about 300 metres. This kite was seen around the edge of Pond 16/17 yesterday. I hadn't seen one for some time. Neil

Neil,
I saw it as well at about one hour after meeting you. Unfortunatly, I was unable to capture it as it only stood idle a short while. :cry:

We also saw this bird on 25th of Aug, and it was also very far away!!but we managed to get a few record shots of it, but the quality is poor. Also, we led a group of tour to see this magnificent bird!!it stood there for 30minute then flew away somewhere.
digiscoped with Contex U4R + Lieca 60x telescope
25th Aug MaiPo

Now we have a challenge to someone to get a good photo of this handsome bird. Neil

This appears to be a different bird to the one I saw at Mai Po during mid-July, which was clearly a juvenile (scaly back and overall brown tones to the plumage).
Hopefully the species will start turning up more regularly in the area again after a couple of quiet years
