They had a little bit of trouble getting them down.Neil.   17th,October,2005   MPNR, Hong Kong,China.   Olympus 7070wz plus Swarovski ATS80HD scope and 20-60x eyepiece.   http://www.pbase.com/neilfif11/image/50862952.jpg « Last Edit: Nov 16th, 2005, 3:23pm by BBS Moderators » Logged Anguslau BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 402 Re: Greenshank with mudskipper « Reply #1 on: Oct 17th, 2005, 7:48pm » Quote Modify I also saw several Greenshanks doing that last week. Very strange! Does it mean that there is a shortage of food they normally like? Obviously they did not succed since the mudskippers were too large.

Its long bill can catch a lot of things ranging from small worms to fish.   We should gald that they could still catch this nutritious prey. It may indirectly indicate that mudskippers in Deep Bay are still abundant enough for top predators to explore.   Captain Logged Jz BBS Member BBS God I love God's creations!     Gender: Posts: 145 Re: Greenshank with mudskipper « Reply #5 on: Oct 18th, 2005, 10:33pm » Quote Modify interesting sighting   now the mudskippers had to find more places to hide   Logged 深藍 Owen BBS Administrator LOVE KINGFISHER~!     Gender: Posts: 1358 Re: Greenshank with mudskipper « Reply #6 on: Oct 19th, 2005, 12:17am » Quote Modify on Oct 18th, 2005, 10:33pm, Jz wrote: interesting sighting   now the mudskippers had to find more places to hide     seems they start to find on the tree..   Logged ___________________ http://www.i-owen.com 香港昆蟲網 http://hkinsect.net/forum 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 »
