I attended the trip to Po Toi when the Great Frigatebird was sighted. I brought along three of my students who are enthusiastic about birding. From what I could tell nobody seemed to have a problem with them being there. They seemed to be very well behaved. They understand that birding is a quiet and patient activity.
They are asking about going to Mai Po on the 25th. Just want to make sure that this is OK before I sign them up. I am a new member and certainly don't want to be "that annoying guy who brings kids on the birding trips."
I would appreciate honest feedback.
Thanks,

hi Josh,
I am sure that won't be a problem, birdwatching is an activity for all age!! I started birding when I was about six...and my first Mai Po visit was around 7 or 8 (I can't remember)!! So, I am sure that won't be a problem!!
It is always good to see more young birders!! It is important that some of the younger generation appreciate nature.

Great! That's what I figured. They are good kids with genuine interest. It is a lot of fun to see.
Thanks,
Josh
