Hi, I will have a walk with friends to Tap Mun 2 weeks later. I want to see is it a good site for bird watching in this season? Also, at what time it is best? Thanks! Author: ajohn Time: 30/10/2012 08:18
I think few people really try birding on Tap Mun. I see no reason that there shouldn't be birds around, especially now that it is the migration season.
Do remember to let everyone know how you get on! Author: wilsondring Time: 30/10/2012 12:20

went there on 10Nov finally. Few drops of rain initially, but then subshine.
Not really good in identifying birds there, but still found:
Eurasian Tree Sparrow (麻雀)
Red-whiskered Bulbul (紅耳鵯)
Great Tit (大山雀)
White Wagtail (白鶺鴒)
Little Egret (小白鷺)
Great Egret (大白鷺)
Chinese Bulbul (白頭鵯)
Grey Heron (蒼鷺)
Daurian Redstart (北紅尾鴝)
Black Kite (黑鳶)
Yellow-bellied Prinia (灰頭鷦鶯)
Blue Rock Thrush (藍磯鶇)
There should be a lot more, but I didn't have time to stay in one place for too long (and keep my friends waiting). Think it is a good place to hang around for a morning.
