Apart from Sheung Shui KCR I'm not sure where else this bus can be found in  Sheung Shui.   If the 77k goes on to West Rail Kam Sheung Road station, you should get off at the first stop on Tung Wui Road (that is, immediately after the roundabout at the end of the runway).   You will still have a fifteen minute walk down Airfield Road.   John Logged http://johnjemi.hkbirds.net/ johnallcock BBS Member BBS Senior Member     Posts: 66 Re: Airfield Road, Shek Kong, N.T. ·s¬É ¥Û±^ ¾÷³õ¸ « Reply #11 on: Jan 13th, 2006, 1:08pm » Quote Modify A number of buses and minibuses run along Kam Sheung Road eg 64K.  I'm not sure if any of these go to/from Sheung Shui.   If you get off around Tsang UK Tsuen/Nam Hing Lei/Lai Uk Tsuen, access to the airfield road area is easy via the nullah.   Incidentally, also in this area, there is an area of farmland that seems fairly promising south of Tsang Uk Tsuen.  I recorded white-shouldered starling and greater painted-snipe breeding here last summer.

The terminus is next to the Cafe de Coral and Jockey Club on San Fung Ave. It is also next to the KMB bus depot.   The red minibus passes through Shek Kong and Kam Tin. You could stop at the big runabout before Kam Tin.   Captain Logged pan BBS Member BBS Senior Member     Gender: Posts: 77 Re: Airfield Road, Shek Kong, N.T. ·s¬É ¥Û±^ ¾÷³õ¸ « Reply #13 on: Jan 14th, 2006, 2:48pm » Quote Modify thank you all of you~ hope i can meet the good birds there in the coming¡@new year holidays.
