Thanks John and others.
Most of the names are fairly obvious. But
Green Pigeon Lane is the path which leads to the tree near the Upper Reservoir (marked on my map) where the Orange-breasted Green Pigeon spent much of its time in 2006. This path was hacked out by Graham Talbot to enable him to tick the pigeon, which just goes to show how much a tick is worth to him. We've kept it open since then but even today it's quite a hike and not recommended for Large Lenses.
Tiger Lane is an invention of Peter and Michelle. It's not where the Tiger Shrike was in 2006, that was near the Ferry Pier as Paul pointed out. So I can only think they saw a tiger there or something.
The Helipad is the emergency landing area but more importantly, the location of the Opera House at the Festival held every three years (the annual festival is held at the Temple). But it has been used as a helipad - a few years ago, a Dragonair pilot used it regularly to fly his helicopter in for lunch at the restaurant. We all know how mad Dragonair pilots can be for a good meal. He also brought along a very attractive young lady who he said was his wife, but nobody believed him.
The Community Centre was built by the Royal Air Force in the 1970s as a community assistance scheme, hence we have several photos of Po Toi village from those days, including aerial ones, as given here
Compare the 1973 vegetation with that of today
The Generator building is now alongside the Community Centre but was not there in the 1970s.
