我的一位沒有鳥會account的朋友當日在場。
現代他回應一下。


I was there too whole day yesterday. The location is within a roundabout and vehicular entrance is prohibited.

One person who arrived first ignored the locked gate and drove in his green Vitara by maneuvering through the verge area and parked at the centre of the site taking pictures of the thrush from his car. People who came in later line up orderly at the side of the Vitara (picture 1). There were about thirty people at peak time and no one was seen using bait. The thrust turned up sparsely.  

The airport traffic patrol team found the Vitara inside the roundabout and requested everyone to leave the site in 15 minutes (picture 2). The Vitara was driven away, all other people left and some of them returned later.

More people joined in the afternoon and soon there were again thirty people, lining up more or less at the same position as in the morning. Again no one was seen using bait. It rained and the thrush turned up, foraging in the leaf litter for food apparently with little success. One person creep a little close  (around 20 meters at least away from the thrust I supposed) and two or three persons followed suit, the thrush moved away.

The rain turned heavy from late afternoon, the wind blew stronger and the temperature dropped by ten degree Celsius at night.

Observations:

1. The thrust might be sensitive to a large group of human (30 people);
2. The parking of a car inside the roundabout and the action of Airport Traffic Control might be the main reason for poor results in the morning;
3. The rain in the afternoon attracted the thrust coming out for food, disregard the presence of same number of human as in the morning;
4. The thrust might have gotten little food the whole day;
5. The weather turned worse and the temperature fell significantly, with rain and strong wind.
6. No one was seen using bait.

Thanks Pasha who helps to post my response. I know this is an improper means and I won’t bother him anymore after this post.

We do make mistakes or wrong judgment and should confess and learn from our mistakes. Correct our behaviors and be honest. Forgive and give other chances to correct.

Yes, Interchange is a more accurate and appropriate description of the area which consists of round about and slip roads.

Hong Kong International Airport is very well managed in many aspects. Ground traffic control is one very good example thanks to the traffic control team setup. We rarely see traffic congestion or illegal parking on the airport island. Wilson Parking diversified and has gotton the contract to conduct ground traffic control, whether it itself is also a car park operator is irrelevant in exercising its duties in traffic control.

Absence of post signs is never accepted as an excise for unauthorized vehicular entrance, trespasser, or parking. No bank posts no robbery sign at its entrance for instance.

A response to S L Tai, we do have thinking power. Making good judgment needs evidences, not prejudices. I see people here keep attacking using bait and escalating that the improper feeding induces weakened body, and even reproduction etc. We simply cannot say eating rice induces cancer because people have cancer have eaten rice! If no one was seen using bait (far from using pin) and the bird was not seen taking bait, and with no dissection done, why do you suggest using bait cause its death?
