Outing in Mai Po Nature Reserve : 8th March, 2009.
Time: 10:30am to 2:30pm

Today's weather was misty and cold. Sometimes, it had a few light rain.
No special birds found today.  However, many Barn Swallows with some House Swifts were gathered over the ponds outside the Mai Po Reserve.
I also saw a raptor among the Barn Swallows and guessed it to be Eurasian Hobby.  Any comments?
(今日天氣有霧和寒冷, 並且間中有微雨。沒有特別雀鳥。但是, 有大羣 家燕 並混著白腰雨燕在米埔保育區外的漁塘集結。
同時見有一隻猛禽於其中, 似乎是燕隼?)
