The spot is also very scenic.
This wonderful birding site is absolutely amazing and is especially good for the thrushes.

I would like to thank Mrs Lok for her tips on birding this site.
Cheers.

CHUNG MEI 涌尾 is situated between Bride's Pool and Tai Mei Took along Ting Kok Road. You can see a rectangular stone marked 涌尾 at the junction between Ting Kok Road and a side road leading to a car park.
You can bird at the two picnic sites around that junction looking for thrushes. Then you can go to the other side of the carpark which leads to a trail that brings you to the water front. Birding along the creek to find the Plumbeous Redstart and wagtails etc.. The Lesser Shortwings and Red-flanked Blue Tails were seen in the bushes to the left of this trail. You can go there either by bus or by private car. I guess any bus going to Bride's Pool from Tai Po should be appropriate.
Hope this is useful to you. Good luck. ;)
