Sha Lo Tung 沙螺洞 Winter 2009
8.45-10.30 am, 2 November 2009
A brief walk around on a stunningly beautiful morning. The strong monsoon winds seemed to keep the birds out of sight unfortunately. At least five Little Buntings were in long grass, larger buntings were seen but not for long enough to identify, fleeting views at best. A single Common Buzzard was perched on a dead tree. One female Stonechat, Olive-backed Pipit, Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker, Chestnut, Chinese and Crested Bulbuls.Dusky Warbler, Yellow-browed Warbler and Great Tit were also seen.
Sha lo Tung is worth a visit if only for the scenery.
