There are 48 participants in today's Mai Po outing. I like to thank Lo Chun Fai, Samuel and Christine, Yip Wai Hung, Bill Man and Dominic for help leading the outing.
Today was such a happy bird watching day although we felt like having sauna in the bird watching houses. I was particularly thrilled to see that black-winged kite which was my first enounter with it.
I was also very impressed by Jemi Holmes' unique way of bird coaching through 'elimination method' and had been very patient with us all. It was very helpful. Author: ctakming Time: 18/08/2008 07:33 Subject: Grey Plover with leg flag
Thank you for praising my eye-sight. This must be an exceptional rare occasion that I guess right.
On last sunday, we also get a ringed Black-faced Spoonbill.
Left leg: green-yellow-red
Right leg: red ring with letter K73 or KZ3
Yu Yat Tung can tell us more about this bird.
I forgot to thank Jemi (and others as well) for help on Mai Po outing last Sunday. Sorry about that.

The BFS should be K73, ringed in South Korea in the summer 2007. Thanks for your report! Author: lchunfai Time: 21/08/2008 21:01

m'sai hak hei la! birding together ma!(there is no need to be so courteous)
It was hot but many good birds and the waders were very close.
I had a very enjoyable birding day too.
The photo posted by VKYM is a Black Kite. I get confused at first, but I finally decided that it is a black kite on that day. See the black eye stripe.
Another suspected bird that I have not put in is Black Bittern. I saw a bird that looked very much like a Black Bittern. But at this distance, it can be a Straited Heron or some other birds. So I leave it.
