A bird?! But I cannot link it up with my little memory of bird, especially white collar. Its "wings" looked too flat. Right?   Photo was taken at about 1pm on 18/2/2004 inside Kowloon Park. http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/P2180132-a.jpg http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/P2180132-b.jpg   It disappeared after watching for a while. « Last Edit: Jun 8th, 2004, 12:28pm by BBS Moderators » Logged shum ting wing Guest Re: Any help?! « Reply #1 on: Mar 1st, 2004, 2:55pm » Quote Modify Remove Blue Magpie Logged Falcon BBS Member BBS God be like a falcon.....     Gender: Posts: 239 Re: Any help?! « Reply #2 on: Mar 1st, 2004, 5:51pm » Quote Modify I would say this one is some kind of escaped bird....not really sure about this...=.+"...

Should it have a broad, long tail, then it's quite sure it's a Koel   Logged bfspoonbill BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 105 Re: Any help?! « Reply #7 on: Mar 4th, 2004, 11:46am » Quote Modify Thanks to you all for guessing. We saw it soon after entering the HaiPhone Road entrance. The "UFO" stood on a branch inside trees shown in the following map (location): http://everwell.dynu.com:3880/BirdWatching/HaiPhong.jpg   Size : much larger than a (spotted) dove, more or less the size of a mature mappie. So, it cannot be a kingfisher.   Color : no significant distortion found from the 10X optical plus 4X digital image. So, what kind of bird will have such a light pale blue colour? I think Koel should not be that light in colour, especially when the light condition inside tree shadows should be dimmer.   White collar : Will there be white collar (or better "band") at the back of a blue mappie? I only saw blue mappie once and the book reference of it did not show white "band".   Tail : It was apparent that that "UFO" had a long tail. Right?   Anyway, thanks for the brainstorming ideas. « Last Edit: Jun 8th, 2004, 12:28pm by BBS Moderators » Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育 => Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
