  Scoured most of Long Valley for a couple of hours this afternoon.  Birders/photographers were the most abundant species.  Otherwise:

- Highlight for me was easily a juvenile Purple Heron that I flushed towards the end of my walk.  My understanding is that most Purple Herons migrate through the Mai Po/Deep Bay area, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it here.
- Three species of Pipit now: Red-throated are abundant, a handful of Richard's are around, and had my first Olive-backed of the season today.
- Other birds of note: 1 Blue Magpie, 1 Oriental Reed Warbler, and 2 Yellow-breasted Bunting.

Good birding,

On 2 Nov, at late evening, I saw flocks of birds moving into the tall-grass field for the night.  That include Munias, Bulbuls, and Buntings.  By night fall, Painted Snipe come out of the hiding place.  I also saw ducks (Common Teal) landing on the pond in front of me.  Last of all, there is a Nightjar (Savanna) flying around, and then sit on a pole for a long time.  Night-time bird watching could be dangerous.  Don't go if you have not prepared properly.

That's right. Beware of low-flying duck!

A trip this afternoon from 2:30 - 4:30 produced over 40 species

The best of these was an immature/female Black headed Bunting in the area between the central path from Yin Kong and the drainage channel.  It had an exciting afternoon - a cat tried to catch it and a Long tailed Shrike tried three times. As a rsut it was moving around a bit, but I had good views fro at least 15 minutes.

There was also a female Citrine Wagtail along with macronyx and taivana Yellow Wagtails, and my first ocularis White Wagtail  of the autumn and several Red-throated Pipits in the watercress beds to the north of the path.

Cheers
