There is a Hoopoe and I think it was just passing through there to somewhere
so lucky for seeing that. And it walked on grass to find food and flew around the trees in there.
But we do not bring the DC to take record..anyway

woo, so lucky you can see a Hoopoe Author: fatchun Time: 17/10/2009 02:58
yes~ so happy, this is first time for me to sea a hoopoe
But this is quit interesting that it was there as there is no forest around but the seaAuthor: thinfor Time: 17/10/2009 08:52
Congrats, fatchun, it would have been my first tick too if I have had seen it.
From 'The birds of Hong Kong and South China', it states that hoopoes favour well-watered lawns and open grasslands. So the sportsground is already a good habit for hoopoes.
From other birders' experiences, this bird is quite unpredictable. It can be seen anytime and anywhere. Author: fatchun Time: 17/10/2009 12:18
