Title: Re: Autumn passage at Ng Tung Chai Post by M Kilburn on Sep 21st, 2004, 6:38pm This afternoon at Ng Tung Chai 14 Dollarbirds were seen on overhead wires at Ng Tung Chai around 5:30 pm. According to the Avifauna of Hong Kong This is just two less than the Hong Kong record of 16 inTai Po Kau on 21 August, but is the highest number during the autumn migration. The previous highest record in autumn was of 12 at Aberdeen Country Park on 1 October, 1994. Also, yesterday 7 were recorded at lunchtime, 3 more than were recorded before 9am. Cheers Mike K |

Title: Re: Autumn passage at Ng Tung Chai 梧桐寨過境直擊 Post by M Kilburn on Sep 23rd, 2004, 12:50am I flushed the Collared Scops owl from the side of the path. It flew a few metres ahead and stared at me for a couple of minutes, before it flew off. I doubt it would be easy to find. However the spot was the junction of the trails about 100m past the Mna Duk Yuen Temple. Cheers Mike |
