Went to Wawu Shan for a few days to get away from Hong Kong's urban heat! We saw over hundred species, the best tick is not a bird but a mammal. Yes, we saw two wild Red Pandas, one adult and the other immature!! Here are some pictures to share with you all.

Thank you all for the kind words and comments. We were very lucky to have good weather for 2 or 3 days but the rest was foggy and heavy rain!  

Wawu Shan is one of the best places for ticking Parrotbills, we also saw Brown and Three toed Parrotbills but was unable to get any images. We only manage to see one Mountain Hawk Eagle at bottom of mountain, strangely there were no accipiter to be seen up at the top.


Lastly, we are truely grateful to Jemi & John Holmes, Soso and Koel for all their help.

Cheers
