Mike's post remind me that HKBWS has not been very keen in keeping birdlist of various site in HK.  May be we can start doing that, by assigning different volunteers to keep birdlist of different sites.  Right now I know Mike is keeping the Lam Tsuen - Ng Tung Chai list, Geoff Welch is keeping the Po Toi list, Vicky is keeping the Long Valley list.  WWF has the Mai Po list and Wetland Park has the Wetland Park list.  I am sure there are other lists as well, like Tai Po Kau, Shing Mun, Kam Tin, Nam Seng Wai, Tsim Bei Tsui, etc.  May be we should list them on the web every year, so as to general more interests in keeping birdlist of many more sites.

To get the ball rolling, here is the Po Toi list in Excel format.

http://www.geocities.com/geoffwelch46/PoToiList091020.xls

The list total is 280 species, with 215 in 2006, 228 in 2007, 223 in 2008 and 203 in 2009 so far.

The latest addition to the list was Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher on 8th October and to the 2009 list, Scaly Thrush last Sunday (no Scaly Thrushes wintered on Po Toi last year - hopefully, this will change this year)

These site lists are 'unofficial' as they are not monitored by any approved body. However, they remain interesting to the ordinary birdwatcher.

That is great. Thank you.  I know for Tai Po Kau or Long Valley, the year list is about 130.  George and Vicky will post these information later.
