Dear Fai Chai, Peter, Ken & Kwok Jai,

Congratulations on your fruitful Mai Po tour.  Having 82 on the bird list was wonderful.  

I hope that lovely Philippine Duck will still be relaxing in that quiet secret little corner where we used to see it when we have our next outing in Mai Po on 30 May.

This is my first time to Mai Po and feel great. Thanks Fai Chai & Peter
