After a long period of mainly northeasterly or easterly winds, there were very few birds at sea and Po Toi was also very quiet. The birds that generated most excitement during the trip were the Cotton Pygmy Geese at Mai Po, which we got pictures of, and the giant yellow plastic duck (attended by crowds of admirers) as we disembarked at Tsim Tsa Shui.

There may be some more birds to add, but migrants at Po Toi were:

Chinese Pond Heron 5+
Eastern Cattle Egret 3+ (some on the paths and very approachable)
Grey-streaked Flycatcher 2+
Asian Brown Flycatcher 1
Arctic-type Warbler 2+
Goodsons-type Warbler 1 (very late)

and birds of interest during the cruise:

White-bellied Sea Eagle pair at Green Island
Red-necked Phalarope 40
Black-naped Tern 15
Bridled Tern 70 (mostly at Waglan)
Pacific Swift 20-30 at Waglan
Brown Shrike one flying strongly with a Black Kite in pursuit
