Logged Mr X Guest Re: Please help identify « Reply #3 on: Aug 20th, 2004, 3:07pm » Quote Modify Remove I though it may be an immature / female crested bunting at first due to its huge size but the beak is a bit over-size and the body colour is not matched with the illustration in Birds of HK   So, it may be a female / immature Baya Weaver. The only worry is the long nail, which is not a feature of this bird.       Logged cywong BBS Member BBS God I am fascinated by birds!     Posts: 295 Re: Please help identify « Reply #4 on: Aug 20th, 2004, 10:37pm » Quote Modify They were found on Border Fence Road.   Thanks to Mr. X's reply.   I agree that this bird seems to be a female Baya Weaver except it has a short crest.   Logged Thank you for sharing the joy of bird-watching.
