Title: Looking for Kowloon/Hong Kong Birder/Guide
Post by foxtrot on Nov 7^th, 2004, 12:23am

Hi all,

I am an overseas member and will be in Kowloon Dec 2 - 12 (busy 5, 6 (may be 7)).

I hope to be staying near Kowloon Park.

I would like to find a local birder to guide and help me with the birds. I can pay compensation and expenses. I will be available during most/all of the day hours to bird.

I would like to join in any activities of the Society during this time.

Please contact me at leewah@comcast.net.

Thank you,

Regards,

Jimmy Lee

Hi Webcreeper,

Thank you for the alert. I will join the Friday Kowloon Park trip. Where is the Arcade meeting place? (I'll arrive late Thursday night so I won't have any time to get oriented).

I'll also try to attend the Kam Tin trip.

I'm looking forward to joining the society's activities and meeting some members.

Good birding,

Jimmy Lee

Dear Jimmy

Welcome to Hong Kong.

The Arcade locates in front of the McDonald Restaurant near the Austin Road entrance of Kowloon Park.

To access there, take MTR to Jordan Station (Exit D), turn left and cross the road to the Body Shop, the Park entrance is at the opposite side in front of you (BP International).

Hope you would find this useful.

Hi Jimmy,

You don't have to sign up for the Kam Tin trip. Just get to the assembly point on time and look for a group with telescopes and tripods.

Good birding!
