HA04 has been spotted close to Kwong Fok Bridge at Tai Wo, for the past couple of days. See photos of 2022.12.23.
It took up a hunting position on rubber tyres in the middle of Lam Chuen River and would not let other birds get close.

If wasn't easy to hold two struggling and slippery fishes in the beak.
I cannot do it with a pair of long steel pliers.
If you look closely,the outer fish was held by the piercing of the mouth.
Almost magical, that it did not fall off. Anyway, once on shore the outer fish fell off and slipped into the river.
The fish was hurt, so once HA04 finished the first fish, it could easily be found again.
