Subject: [Hong Kong] Bird report in Mai Po Nature Reserve [Print This Page]

Author: kfmak Time: 8/03/2009 23:50 Subject: Bird report in Mai Po Nature Reserve

Outing in Mai Po Nature Reserve : 8th March, 2009.
Time: 10:30am to 2:30pm

Today's weather was misty and cold. Sometimes, it had a few light rain.
No special birds found today. However, many Barn Swallows with some House Swifts were gathered over the ponds outside the Mai Po Reserve.
I also saw a raptor among the Barn Swallows and guessed it to be Eurasian Hobby. Any comments?
(今日天氣有霧和寒冷, 並且間中有微雨。沒有特別雀鳥。但是, 有大羣家燕並混著白腰雨燕在米埔保育區外的漁塘集結。
同時見有一隻猛禽於其中, 似乎是燕隼?)

The raptor in the photo is a Kestrel, I am guessing thats the bird you saw amongst the Swallows??
