Title: Ring-necked pheasant in Mai Po
Post by Robin_Fung on Nov 17^th, 2002, 10:03pm

Today (17/11 , Sunday) I saw a male Ring-necked Pheasant on the mid-island of pond 16-17 in Mai Po. It stood there and then a Marsh Harrier flew to it, the pheasant escaped and flew into the bush at the edge of the pond.

Robin
Would the bird be an escaped one?
I also saw one near waterfowl collection in April this year but the MP officer told me it's an escaped bird.

Hi Dick,
Yes that bird could be an escaped bird.
