Hi TH Please could you report such sightings to the Chinese and English birdlines on the day you find them and each day you see them. It means we can all enjoy them. Is it still there? If so which area of Wun Yiu should we look? Thanks Mike

Dear Mike, I am afraid you might have mixed up "kwan" with "TH Kwan" I am also very eager to find the Bull-head Shrke myself in WunYiu this week. Hope that this little creature is still hanging around that region. However, I do agree with your opinion concerning the use of birdline to report rare sightings. Actually I was one of those lucky guys who could see the Siberian Crane in December 2002. I was on vacation leave during that day. (It was a weekday!) I first read about the discovery of the Crane from newspaper, then I gathered more information from the BBS but it was the message from the birdline stating that the Crane was still there at 8am that motivated me to drive to MaiPo as soon as possible. Fortunately, I arrived there 15 minutes before the Crane flew back to Shenzhen! Birdline has always been a very useful medium to me. Let's all try to contribute more to and benefit more from the birdline in future. Cheers. TH (TH Kwan, dad of Matthew Kwan)
