Just curious about the general area of these birds.  I am not that familiar with Lamma Island so am trying to get a sense of the best birding areas on the island.

The trail between Mo tat wan and Yung Shue Ha had great habitat. I am not familiar with the north end of the island.

Thanks for the tips!  Hope more good birds will be showing up on Lamma.
