Title: Intermediate Egret? Plaintive Cuckoo? Wigeon?
Post by Koel_Ko on Oct 13^th, 2002, 4:09pm

A Kam Tin trip on 13/10 yielded the following.

Rather inexperienced am I...please id this little cuckoo, who has recently acquired a comb on its tail, for me.

And I am wondering if this is really an Intermediate Egret...

Lastly here is a duck (there were two). Are they Teals or Wigeons? Please lend me some help.

Thanks for your reply.
Could you please elaborate on the Teal? I wonder if it should look so rufous - and is it an eclipse male?
