37) Phoenicurus auroreus (Daurian Redstart) 北紅尾鴝<--My favourite bird 我最愛的雀鳥
What I learnt:
There are actually many rare species but only a few people realize that they are present.
What I want to ask:
1. How to identify Egretta eulophotes (Swinhoe's Egret) 黃咀白鷺?[size同小白差唔多之餘眼裂較短而且偏藍色?<--睇網上相自己draw o既假設]
2. How to identify Aythya nyroca (Ferruginous Duck) 白眼潛鴨?[同小鸊鷉似樣因為都係黃眼但係白眼潛鴨大隻好多?<--睇網上相自己draw o既假設]
