I had a few brief visits to Shek Kong recently while working around Kam Tin. Although it seemed not quite as birdy as last winter, there were still a few birds around:

Red Turtle Dove - 7 on 13th, 9 on 15th
Emerald Dove - 1 near Lai Uk Tsuen on 16th
Brown Shrike - 1 on 16th
Common Blackbird - 3 on 15th
Yellow-billed Grosbeak - 2 on 14th
