Title: Siberian Thrush at KFBG ¹Å¹D²z¹A³õ¦³¥Õ¬Ü¦aóð
Post by M Kilburn on Oct 12^th, 2004, 10:05am

This morning a pair (female and first winter male) of Siberian Thrush were found in a fruiting fig tree  on Kwun Yam Shan at the top of Kadoorie Farm by Captain and Preston, and showed well at 10am.

These birds are migrants which are taking advantage of the good feeding oportunities of the small figs, offering an excellent opportunity to photograph them.

This species is not yet included in the photo guide so any photographers could take the opportunity to add one species to the photo guide!

Cheers
Mike

Preston of KFBG said that it is the first record of KFBG.

They may still there for a couple of days as the tree is still fruiting.

This is a good record but by no means the first for KFBG. Several have been trapped there in the past - ref The Avifauna of Hong Kong.

Best regards
