Having missed the Water Rail the previous evening despite picking up yet another speeding ticket trying to get there on time I managed to see it today after a two hours wait its on pond 21 (#346)
An added bonus was Carrion Crow (#347) which I saw in the early morning and evening. The best place and time to see this uninspiring bird (sorry if I have offended any crow enthusiasts) is at the top end of pond 20 from the Cotton Pygmy Goose hide at about 4pm. The Crows gather there before flying off to roost.
I also saw Durian Jackdaw at Lut Chut. It appears to spend the day there although it can be hard to find
The target of 350 is so close but I leave HK on vacation on the 22nd December so I only have 18 days to see three more year ticks. Possible but unlikely but I will be out trying.

After doing some research today I now believe the Water Rail in gei wai 21 on Saturday (seen by Graham on Sunday) is actually a 'Western' Water Rail, which has not previously been recorded in HK.
Although this is treated as the same species by most authorities, there is a suggestion in the recent Rasmussen book (Birds of South Asia) that it should be treated as a separate species.
Key ID features are the white undertail and lack of a brown 'mask' on the face but there are other supporting features (including the colour of the underparts, prominence of streaking on the upperparts and bill structure/colour).
If anyone has any photos of this bird (even 'record' shots) it would be very useful to post them or send me a private message.

Very interesting to see Hong Kong's version of a 'Big Year"!
What else is there to get feasibly, if you don't mind me asking?
Cheers,

Due to Mai Po being closed last winter I missed a number of birds.
I still have a chance of seeing any of the following. Its a long list so you would think it was possible to see three of them but I doubt it. I was out looking for Jay again this morning no luck I don't think they occur in HK any more.
The "Western" Water Rail was seen again today on Pond 21. It was only seen late in the day - from 4:30 onward owing to the fact that this pond takes a long time to drain after the high tide.
The Daurian Jackdaw was aso seen in the same area.
Well done getting a photo of this bird Mike - I understand photography has been very difficult because the bird is only visible in the late afternoon and is usually in the reeds!
The key features to ID this bird as a 'Western' Water Rail are: the undertail coverts are white (not barred), there is no brown mask, the upperparts are not so heavily streaked, there is no brown on the breast, etc.
All previous HK records are thought to belong to the 'Eastern' (sub-)species indicus, so this is potentially a first for HK. Having seen the bird again earlier this week, and looking at photos of other birds, I am increasingly convinced that the 'split' is valid.
The bird has only recently been seen in late afternoon (4.00 onwards) because very high tides overnight do not drain until this time - there is then a relatively short window of opportunity before the gei wai starts to refill! Hopefully the tides will be more suitable in coming days and the bird will stay in the area. Author: WWF Mai Po Time: 8/12/2006 17:33

The Carrion Crow was at pond 20 with a group of Collard Crow. There was no sign of the Common Pochard or the Ferruginous Duck, but many Tufted Ducks present in pond 20.
A last desperate bid to find one more year tick failed
The only bird of note was a Common Pochard on pond 20
Therefore I'm stuck on 349 for the year
I fly out today and return on the 3rd January when I start again ........ just joking once is enough

If you visit Mai Po this weekend it's worth looking at the Lut Chau ponds (south of gei wai #22, just walk over the bridge). Many of the partially drained ponds and scattered fish feed are attracting a nice selection of birds. Good numbers also including Kites (nearly 100), >100 Black-headed Gulls, Starlings (several thousand), Crested Myna (50) and Collared Crow (40) (plus the Carrion Crow).

Gei wai #19 is going to be drained on coming Wednesday (31st January 2007); hundreds of egrets, herons and Black-faced Spoonbill are expected to be attracted. The draining will last for 7 days until next Monday (4th February 2007). Highest number of birds is expected starting from the 3rd day of the draining. It is obviously a very good opportunity to photograph lots of birds feeding in a reasonable distance.

There was also a Red-throated Flycatcher in the casuarinas.

Two good days at Mai Po:
The first, Saturday 24th Feb produced a wonderful combination at Pond 3.
First a Greater Spotted Eagle flew over and flushed out a Bonelli's Eagle and an Imperial Eagle. Then we found the Lesser White-fronted Geese on the edge of a big group of Cormorants and another immature Imperial Eagle perched in a tree above the pond. Not bad for 2 minutes birding!
There were good numbers of waders on the Scrape including the same Long-billed Dowitcher as Thursday (and Gary Chow saw Nordmann's Greenshank), and at the suth end of the reserve two adult Imperials Eagles, another Greater Spotted Eagle and thelong-staying Carrion Crow.
There were also a Red-rumped Swallow and a Pacific Swift amongst good numbers of Huse Swifts and Barn Swallows on Lut Chau, and lots of Saunders' Gulls and 220 Heuglin's Glls from the Boardwalk.
Today the Carrion Crow and Daurian Jackdaw were on the southern edge of Pond 20 along with 30 or more Collared Crows, two Large-billed Crows and a few Eurasian Magpies.
Cheers
