Red-throated Loon

Date: 17/03/2016
Place: Lamma Island
Time:4:50pm

I was tipped by Guy Miller to shoot the Little Egrets, Black kites during sun set. I did as he advised this afternoon. Then I saw a white thing floating in water which I took it as rubbish in the first glance. However, the rubbish turned out to be this rare beauty.

Thanks Guy Miller !

Wish all birders best luck !
