Wonderful found~!! I just wonder why you can found so many birds in this area!!

Are all these birds found in morning time?

Author: 星魚 Time: 9/01/2015 14:52

To Coconutcat,

      It must be a job of lucky and patient,,,but I think the most important is "working hard",,,,!!
Whenever I want to see a bird,,,then Go ,,,,,,!!All of the birds can appear throughout the day,,,,,not special in exact period of time,,,,,,,!!^^
      Happy Birding

I have been to the place for 3 times. Basically I will walk around the slope beside the football field and tennis field. But most of the time I can't see or heard any birds...@@ I don't know if I have go to the wrong spot...

Author: 星魚 Time: 9/01/2015 19:28

Coconutcat! That exactly the place I find the birds, mainly the slope! You can visit again, but the birds always transit a moment, not all the birds stay, so it depends on your luck!;)
