I forgot to say that my real highlight on Sunday was seeing a Leopard Cat.  It walked along the border fence road at the edge of pond 16/17 at about 9am.  As it was walking away from me I had time to get the scope on it and got great views as it walked along the road and checked out the grassy edge every so often. Just my second view in 16 years in Hong Kong - fantastic!

Apparently a Yellow-browed Bunting was trapped at Mai Po today.
