Great photo of such a skulking species!

Where abouts at Kam Tin was this Baillon's crake? I would be interested in going to see it!

The Baillon's Crake was seen under the blue bridge at the northern end of the baffalo field.

Thanks for the directions Kwan.

I tried to find the bird yesterday evening and this morning but unfortunately without success.

However, there were some other good birds today:
20 grey-headed lapwings
3 eurasian skylarks
2 yellow-breasted buntings
3 black-browed reed warblers
1 red turtle dove

Also, a Japanese sparrowhawk yesterday evening
