I camped for two nights on Po Toi. Arrived on Sunday 28th and left on Tuesday 30th. Didn’t see anything special, I looked for the Chinese Thrush that might have been there but couldn’t find it.
On Monday bees took over the Island, I counted 4 swarms. I’ve heard that they are less likely to sting when they are swarming, they didn’t seem to mind me when I got close to one of them.
A good experience anyway, I might try it again during spring migration.
Here is my list
Black Kite (many)
Black-faced Bunting 1 (behind the temple)
Blue Rock Thrush 7
Chestnut Bulbul 5
Common Kingfisher 1
Common Tailorbird 2
Crested Myna 70+
Daurian Redstart (many)
Dusky Warbler 1
Common Blackbird 1
Eurasian Hoopoe (it popped up all over the place)
Fork-tailed Sunbird 1
Grey-backed Thrush 2
Greater Coucal 4
Hair-crested Drongo 1
Japanese White-eye (many)
Large-billed Crow 2
Lesser Coucal 1
Chinese Bulbul (many)
Long-tailed Shrike 2
Masked Laughingthrush (many)
Scaly-breasted Munia 1
Olive-backed Pipit 1
Oriental Magpie Robin (many)
Oriental Turtle Dove 4
Pacific Reef Egret 6
Pale Thrush 6
Pallas’s Leaf Warbler (many)
Peregrine Falcon 1
Plain Prinia 2
Red-billed Starling 5
Red-flanked Bluetail 3
Red-whiskered Bulbul (many)
Spotted Dove (many)
White Wagtail 1
Whit-throated Kingfisher 1

PS. A man was measuring the path from the ferry to the Temple, he said they will make a new one.
And Happy New Year!
