Small Asian Mongoose 紅頰獴 in LV

Small Asian Mongoose 紅頰獴 in LV

Photos taken on 6 Feb 2014 at Long Valley.
After some internet search, this is probably a Small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) 紅頰獴 and its diet includes bird and bird's egg among others.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

Are you sure it is the same species...  It seems that yours can fly.

I also saw one at the Frontier Closed Road in Mai Po on 8th March 2014. It ran quickly before I could take out my camera...

But I got chased by barking dogs at Frontier Closed Road more often than meeting Mongoose...
