Fan Lau Outing Report 分流觀鳥活動報告 02/11/2003

Dear all,  
 
Today's Fan Lau outing attracted totally 31 participants. It was mostly fine, slight hot, and very hazy. It was more memorable in terms of seeing other wildilfe: insert-eating plant ("Chu Lung Cho"), gigantic mushroom, wild red beans, butterfly/moth cocoon and a lizard.
 
Raptor is the main bird group seen today. We start with a Kestrel, Pied Harrier, at Tung Chung; Japanese sparrowhawk, and Crested Goshawk on the way to Fan Lau; Peregrine at Fan Lau; and Besra, and Oriental Honey Buzzard on the way to Tai O. Black Kite was seen intermittently on the way.
 
Chat was also present in some amount. I heard at least 7 Rubythroat on the way. Daurian Redstart was also heard at two different places. We saw some Grey-throated Minivets and a Female Chestnut Bunting near Tai Long Wan Village. Blue Magpies were noted at Fan Lau and also at Yi O. Lastly, at the large reedbed at Tai O, a Black-browed Reed Warbler was heard.  
 
I like to thank many experienced birdwatcher helping to lead the outing. They include: Mr. TP Luk and Mrs. Luk, TP Chu, Jemi, Allan Chan, Wong Chap Cheung, Tam Yiu Leung, Ada Chow, etc.  
 
HF Cheung

I would like to add a flock of 34 Silky Starlings and 2 White-cheeked Starlings at the lawn inside the sports field at Tai O.
