Thanks, Ken, for your birding report.

A pity that I could not find the watercock, which is the bird I long to see.  I hope it's still there.

Thanks Dragonfly for the birding report.  BTW, I also noticed that there might have some material disposal on the mentioned area.  

I think we, as a birder with environmental concern, should keep an eye on what has happened to that area.  If necessary, we should ask corresponding parties of HKSAR government to see whether there is any illegal disposal occurred.  It's an unacceptable act for the land owners to attempt to change the land use by this kind of uncivilized and selfish destruction.

Welcome to share with us which exact area you've mentioned and I'll take a look too next time I go to Pui O.  I think we can do something to protect this nice piece of countryside.
