Small Asian Mongoose 紅頰獴 in LV
Photos taken on 6 Feb 2014 at Long Valley.
After some internet search, this is probably a Small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) 紅頰獴 and its diet includes bird and bird's egg among others. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I also saw one at the Frontier Closed Road in Mai Po on 8th March 2014. It ran quickly before I could take out my camera...

Small Asian Mongoose is fairly common at Mai Po, and is by far the most easily seen mammal on the reserve. They are also seen fairly regularly around other parts of Deep Bay and occasionally in other parts of the New Territories.

But I got chased by barking dogs at Frontier Closed Road more often than meeting Mongoose...
