Hi Little Parrot,

To further share your plentiful birding with the BBS members, can you tell us the time and route of your birding at Siu Lam, please. ;D

Dear Forrest,

You may start from Siu Lam, go up to the Tai Lam Chung Reservior, turn right to the main dam, after crossing the dam, go downhill back to Tai Lam Chung via the correctional centre. A short route.

You may also take a longer route, walk around the reservoir once!

Early in the morning is nice for walking.

;D
