Post by George_Ho on Jan 26^th, 2004, 6:56pm

A male Small Niltava have been seen in the bush at Sha Tin Pass . The bird have the obvious light blue on the forehead and neck-patch , blue upperparts , black face and grey belly .

I am so surprised to find the bird at there . ;D

Also , the female Brown-headed Thrush and several Eyebrowed Thrush were still present . Two Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler have been found in there .

Thx,

The male Small Niltava have been seen again in Sha Tin Pass at 10:30am .

If you want to search the bird , you may go by MTR and get off at Wong Tai Sin station . Then , you may find the exit of Sha Tin Pass Road and take taxi to the top of Sha Tin Pass .
So you can find the 'Hang Yik' store(恆益士多) and go to the 'Mau Tat Cheung'(芧達村) roadside . The store is near the public toliet and you should go to the rightside part about 20 metres walk . The bird was found either side of the rightside part .

On Monday i have seen the bird at there at 2:20pm .
I am not sure that the bird is still stay at there or not , but the area is good for finding thrush species because of the fruit tree .

If you can not find the area , i can be your leader to help you to go there .
