The site is not a secret it is just not visited very often.

Mike Kilburn found it.

The bird is on a small overgrown fish pond at the north end of some paddies the Ho Sheung Heung side of the river that forms Long Valley's northern boarder.

To get there cross the river on the foot bridge oposite the village then turn right and follow the track to paddies. Walk through the paddies, you pass a few green/blue houses and the overgrown fish pond is at the far end of the paddies on the left.

The bird is very wary and hides in the long grass

Graham
