估唔到去過咁多次, 今次竟在偶然用雙筒掃池邊大樹時見到隻female, 還以為眼花,     因為佢轉頭又飛了不知去邊. 後來見牠在兩池間矮樹上注視著水面, 不時飛插入水. 可惜不肯定佢有無收獲, 睇來似有, 因為佢縮縮下條頸. 可惜近日落, 我部機仔拍得不好, 但已比在塱原隔好遠見到佢近很多, 最近只有數米, 可是我剛熄了機, 開唔切. 佢近到我用'四'眼都看到背後的翠藍色. 臨天黑前小白鷺又飛回來, 降落在大樹頂, 這是我第2次見到牠在黃昏回來了.
七時又在另一個被樹蔭包圍的小池旁大石上守候, 此時已太暗, 我完全拍不到. 牠下水更密, 一分鐘出動2-3次. 佢每次插完水出來, 都會整理下羽毛, 尤其是armpit (令我想起'木村'個廣告 ). 後來走入旁邊矮灌內不見了.

你唔寫到'翠藍色', 我都唔知你講緊係kingfisher喎.

希望你詳盡的分享,不會影響小翠的生活

明白你興奮的心情，但希望小翠的生活不會因太詳盡的報導而被滋擾。

放心, 我在遊人可站的地方看啊 (如橋, 空地), 職員有時會巡邏的. 而那Common Kingfisher是自己遠離或飛近我的,我沒有,也不能太接近牠, 因牠是'在水中央'呢. 還是你指會有好多人去看? ... 其實那是市區公園, 由天光到天黑都有好多人, 牠仍選那兒逗留, 應該是習慣了人群和嘈音(如: 說話聲,音樂). 人雖比九龍公園少, 但四周都是高樓圍繞, 反而擔心那些玻璃幕牆會害到牠呢! 好似在何文田房署數年前建行人天橋後, 聽在那兒工作的友人說有很多鳥撞死在玻璃上, 很恐怖!
我也擔心牠在那麼多人的地方會怎樣, 但當時其他遊人好像不知我在看甚麼, 沒有理會. 希望大家自律, 不要嚇倒鳥兒們. 另外, 我看著牠捕食時反而擔心那些水看來浮著些垃圾, 也該有職員加在水中的消毒藥(告示牌像有這樣說) > 魚吃了藥 > 牠吃了魚 ...

I am sure butter didn't do any thing he shouldn't, I still remember the first time I saw my first common kingfisher at Kowloon Park many years ago, I felt exactly the same excitement as butter did. I will advice people not to over react in reports like this, even though there had been many serious incidents of disturbance from some photographers but in general people had been very reasonable and responsible. Lets not forget, we are not only here to protect and conserve the habitat for the birds, we are also here to share our knowledge of bird watching to others. Only if the species is highly endangered, in breeding or really rare should locations be kept as secretive as possible. Happy birding everyone!!

Agree. We should put the safety and protection of birds on the top of the list ... I disclosed the discovery cos I believe it's not a rare species ... plus that there seems to be no previous report of locating this type at the spot I mentioned.
