Po Toi Winter 2017

Po Toi Winter 2017

23 Nov

Today only few birders come to the island, the weather is fine but looks like too sunny for birds, and the helipad area becomes a construction site, so I do not have much expectations at the beginning of my trip.



However, the facts were many good birds hidden in everywhere, what I can find were......

Many thrushes, one Brown-headed thrush seen but cannot get a picture, others are Japanese thrushes and Grey back thrushes.

Rufous-gorgeted flycatcher

etc...
