想問一下我們第三組在有大群牛隻的荒田上不是看見2隻棕扇尾鶯zitting cisticola在那些芒草之上定點飛行嗎? 請指教.

Thanks, cbryan and ltsunpun!  I was too late to browse them through binoculars so I regarded myself not classified yet.  Hope I will be smarter next time!

Thanks a lot for your photo, chakwahli and also gary for the precise identification tips for zitting cisticola.  Already written in my bird notebook!

Very happy that we have seen many bird species in Mai Po last Sun (though comparatively less than average possibly).  Group 3 has seen 3 types of kingfishers (common, white-breasted and black-capped).  Lucky indeed.  As requested by our group leader (my apology that I forgot your name!), I got a bit side track to post a photo of a ruddy kingfisher taken in Kohamashima(小濱島), Okinawa, Japan on 12Jun2002.  Please comment whether it's really a rubby kingfisher and sorry for the poor quality of the photo.  At that time I knew nothing about birds...

I'd also like to take this opportunity here to thank all the tutors and helpers of this course.  They did make me more devoted to bird watching and I could not wait to go birding in TPK with my friend (a more experienced bird watcher) last Sat (6Dec).  I found that the Shing Mun outing was very meaningful indeed since in this trip I could see many species in TPK, which are new to me.  For more details, please refer to http://www.hkbws.org.hk/BBS/viewthread.php?tid=6733.

我亦想趁這個機會多謝各位導師及義務工作人員.  上過這個課程後, 我更對觀鳥有興趣.  上個星期六(6Dec), 我已忍不住和一個比我更有觀鳥經驗的朋友到大埔滘觀鳥.  課程中到城門看林鳥的一次著實得益不少, 因為有了這個經驗, 我在大埔滘清楚地看到不少林中的鳥, 而且很多也是我第一次見到的.  想知道更多的話, 請到http://www.hkbws.org.hk/BBS/viewthread.php?tid=6733.
