I saw a group of small birds in Shing Mun Reservoir on 1 Jan 2003 (So sorry the quality of the picture is poor!). They were brown in colour with grey legs. I guess they may be flycatcher or sparrow. Can anyone tell me what are they? Thx! http://lally_ng.tripod.com/01010010.JPG « Last Edit: May 28th, 2004, 11:03am by BBS Moderators » Logged pk Guest Re: flycatcher or sparrow? « Reply #1 on: Jan 14th, 2003, 11:14pm » Quote Modify Remove They are not flycatcher or sparrow to me, I think they are spotted munia.

I believe you are right. Those I saw are infant birds and as the book said, they don't fear people and are in group.   Logged Mike Kilburn Committee Member BBS God     Posts: 334 Re: flycatcher or sparrow? « Reply #6 on: Jan 18th, 2003, 9:42am » Quote Modify the first picture shows a juvenile bird and the second one an adult.. This is a very good time of year to see Spotted Munia in areas with seeding grass.  Good sites include Long Valley and Lam Tsuen Valley.   Mike Logged Mike Kilburn Vice Chairman Chairman - ConservationCommittee HKBWS Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育 => Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
