With the calculated risk of making Discovery Bay a new birding hotspot, however unlikely that may be, it is record breaking to have 2 observation replies on the Lantau thread from this location known more for babies, mums, Truman Show conditions and golf buggies than interesting birds!!!!
Having said that, I did flush a Japanese Quail just before dusk last night (21st of October) up at the Reservoir close to the golf course.
No savannah nightjars seen on this occasion - haven't actually seen them up there this year (there's much disturbance by HKR's new construction of luxury houses further south), but a collared scoops owl seen on the way down the hill represented the nightbirds as the sun had set.
