The whole footpath between Tung Chung and Tai O can be very productive for birds, and I would recommend this walk to those with time/energy. Sha Lo Wan is one of the best sites along the path.

Hmmm. It depends on your definition of 'not productive'. Personally I enjoy it just for the walk, even when there isn't much bird activity.

It's more fun than a quiet day on Po Toi

Never had a quiet day on Po Toi.

What's it like?

Really? You should go more often...

Are you sure about the record of Black-winged Kite? 20 would be an incredible number for this species, which is normally not seen in numbers greater than 1 or 2.

I was in the area on Sunday (31/10) and good birds included:
Radde's Warbler
Bull-headed Shrike
Mountain Tailorbird (San Shek Wan)
Asian Stubtail Warbler x2 (San Shek Wan)
Ashy Drongo (San Tau)
Chestnut Bunting x10+ (along N Lantau path, most around San Tau)
Common Buzzard x5

Could they have been Amur Falcons?
