一下子看到64种还不大满意，果然是高手，後生可畏。

... and with some nice shots especially the Garganey couple too.
Well done, Matthew!

Thank you Fai Gor and KK, we were lucky! But an interesting thing to observe the come and go of the birds, we had over 30 Common Snipes a few weeks back and just one yesterday, while we had a lot of Red-throated Pipits and Yellow Wagtails a few weeks back, we got very few now~
