Nice. Like a gentle reminder for birders about the upcoming Father's Day . Captain Author: ajohn Time: 1/06/2009 14:35
Only 2 Greater Painted-snipe have been flagged in Hong Kong - a pair trapped at Mai Po on 30 April 2007.
This must be the male from that pair. It was also photographed during July 2007: http://www.hkbws.org.hk/BBS/view ... r%2Bpainted%2BsnipeAuthor: yyattung Time: 1/06/2009 16:06
Interesting!
This bird shows very strong site fidelity! Author: lkatherine Time: 1/06/2009 17:42
This father has also been photographed with chick last summer. So it has been at least breeding at Mai Po #16/17 for 2 consecutive summer!

Greater Painted-snipe do show very strong site fidelity. Even at Kam Tin, where there is widespread habitat suitable for use, the birds will return to the same locations at the same time of year each year.
