About 36 joined the Mai Po Outing today. Our ethusiasm and passion towards bird watching prompted us to wake up early in order to reach Mai Po early by 8:00am. Thank you for Beetle's good tips given on the webpage. Nothing could stop us from rushing to Bird Height #8 and got rewarded by having seen the four bean geese relaxing there.
The high tide started by 9:00am. We felt that the rainy day was such a disguised blessings to us all because we saw quite a number of birds in the rain and after the rain. Below is the trip list.
HKBWS Outing to Mai Po, 6 Nov 2010, cool (20 deg), rainy, medium wind
Thank you once again for Wong Chah Cheong and Irene Wong's selfless contribution to be the guides today. We had so much fun together. A few new friends said that they could not wait to become new HKBWS members and assured us that they would join our outing again. Manager Lo, please help fulfil their wishes.
好鳥不欲閒人看,為怕閒人亂擾牠,
天降秋雨偷試探,驚嘆鳥民不折撓。

A few birders eye witnessed how an Eastern Marsh Harrier attacked the poor Pheasant -tailed Jacana at Mai Po on 6 Nov (yesterday). Could any one show us the photos of this eye-opening scene? Many thanks.
