Arrangement: The boat will go to Po Toi Island directly OR will spend some time in the south waters to search for seabirds. The group will then have free time on the island (new comers can follow the leader to watch birds on the island) and participants are suggested to have their lunch on the island. The group should be back to the boat around 12:00-1:00 (depends on the leader's decision) and then the boat will stay in the Lamma Channel in the afternoon to look for seabirds and back to Aberdeen at 4:00pm. Please note that this is a brief arrangement and the activity leader will have the right to make the final decision.
Limited to 48 participants only - please return the registration form together with the fare to HKBWS Office for registration.

About 40 joined the Po Toi outing on last Sunday. Birds on the island were OK, with Yellow-browed Bunding, Ferruginous, Mugimuki and Grey-streaked Flycatcher, Two-barred and Eastern Crowned Warbler. The sea is a bit disappointing but still offer a very good view of Greater Crested Tern. By the end of the trip, we enjoy a flock of needletail, which seem to be mainly White-throated with one Silver-backed. Thank to many birdwatchers helping to find and photograph birds. Here is my list. Please add to it if you have seen more.

Not exactly brilliant shots of the Two-barred Greenish Warbler are attached below. The bird seems to be moulting heavily.
