Looks like a very enjoyable trip. May be good for an indoor meeting.
I think HKBWS should help our members to share information on foreign trips. If you don't mind, we will ask you to get us some basic information on travelling later.
That Snipe looks very similar to Common Snipe. The Short-eared Owl seems to be very different to what we have. The one we have in this part of the world has yellow iris.
