A Pallas's Reed Bunting was found yesterday evening at Lok Ma Chau, and has been seen very well again today. This is the fourth Hong Kong record.
The bird is present in an area of fishponds managed for KCRC. This is a private site and access to the site is restricted. Birdwatchers are asked not to visit the site unaccompanied.
KCRC have, however, kindly given permission for birdwatchers to visit the site with a member of Asia Ecological Consultants (who manage the site).
A visit has been arranged for tomorrow morning (Saturday 28th) to look for the bird again. Anyone wishing to join this visit should meet at the Mai Po car park at 8.00 from where they will be taken to the site. Please note that this site is within the Frontier Closed Area and anyone wishing to visit should hold a valid FCA permit for the Lok Ma Chau area.
Also present in the same area today were 2 pheasant-tailed jacanas and a lanceolated warbler.
