It is an excellent day for a walk. We got sunny blue sky all day, and the wind is light.
There were about 40 participants, and many newcomers from the recently completed bird watching class. The best show were: Fork-tailed Sunbird, Red-vented Bulbul, Daurian Redstart, Common Tailorbird, Common Buzzard, and Verditar Flycatcher. Totally 42 species were seen.
