But I think it should be bluish, rather than brownish. It was not seen in shadow. So, the bluish feel should not be a result of poor lighting condition. « Last Edit: May 17th, 2005, 6:58am by bfspoonbill » Logged bfspoonbill BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 105 Re: ID from Very Limited Information « Reply #3 on: May 17th, 2005, 9:01am » Quote Modify Actually, the bird jumped into the frame when the plants were photoed. That's why the plant was clearer than it. It then immediately flew away. It was greyish (but a little bit bluish, as in the photo) with a whiter head. It only popped up for a few seconds!

It is quite common at Lung Fu Shan and area around the Peak.

I didn't notice about that as I can see nothing on his photo as the same as Carrie.  Just give him some idea acccording to what he describe "Size similar to Black-Faced Laughing Thrust "   Logged ___________________ http://www.i-owen.com 香港昆蟲網 http://hkinsect.net/forum me_domchan BBS Administrator I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 501 Re: ID from Very Limited Information « Reply #7 on: May 17th, 2005, 2:18pm » Quote Modify on May 17th, 2005, 10:12am, Carrie Ma wrote: I couldn't find anything in the picture.     How about a Black-throated Laughingthrush?

Some are very helpful to provide friendly guesses. I now have time to sit down and check very very carefully. The photo may be a wrong reference because the bird might have flown away. But the grey bird was really seen during photo taking.   Forget this thread if the description is too brief (as wellas misleading). I'll try to pay attention to the bird next time ...   Apology for causing confusion.   BM : Please help to kill this thread so that no more persons will be confused. « Last Edit: May 17th, 2005, 10:32pm by bfspoonbill » Logged 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 »
