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.
