Have you got shots of the Blue Whistling Thrush showing all the bill?

Hi, Irichard.
Yeah.  I got couple of that.  Here is one of the photos showing the bill.  Why?



Thanks for watching, btw.

Thanks. I was hoping it would be a bird of one of the yellow-billed subspecies, but from the additional photo it seems to be a bird of the usual dark-billed subspecies, with some staining on the bill.

I would like to ask which route is the best for bird watching at the Peak?
Or how's your route at the Peak?
Thank you very much!

I always liked Victoria Peak Garden early in the morning; I went there regularly a few years ago as I worked nearby.  The lawns and lawn edges were good for thrushes.  I found the area below the car park and and the drop off where there is a low wall at the end of the big lawn was good.  The palms drop fruit there and the thrushes would feed.  If you approach carefully and sit unobtrusively on the wall you can watch them feed.

Other routes are listed here: http://www.thepeak.com.hk/en/1_3.asp

Hope that's a help- I haven't been up there for a long time!

Thank you very much for your detailed reply=]
I would like to go there regularly as it is close to my school.
