Any suggestion regarding where to go on coming Sunday, the wild card day? Member Mr Chan suggested via email to go to Lantau island, Nam Sang Wai and Tsim Bei Tsui. How about you? Any other suggestion? Author: HFCheung Time: 4/10/2011 12:15
Normally at this time of the year, there is an outing to Kadoorie Farm. However, pervious records were not that good. Alternatively, I suggest Shek Kong, Tsim Bei Tsui or Tai Po Kau.
How about Po Toi?
How do you choose the venue for birdwatching? Rarities, good number of migrants, specialities, less visited...? Author: HKBWS Bonnie Time: 7/10/2011 16:48

Thanks to our leader Fai Gor who led us to an uncommon trail in the area & resulted in a fruitful morning; also thanks to Wendy & Peter for their sharp eyes. Here are some of my record photos of the outing:
A pair of Ospreys were first spotted in the sky.
This was an excellent day for a walk. The day was cloudy and just a bit hot. About 45 joined the day's outing, and with the help of Peter and Wendy, we got some good birds. 54 species were put down by Peter and I, and after we separated, he also got Collared Dove near Yuen Long.

I was at the Mai Po Boardwalk hide on Sunday, and saw a flock of 8 Bee-eaters flying towards Tsim Bei Tsui. Perhaps the same flock you saw while you were there! Author: pitarhk Time: 12/10/2011 13:16
