It is about the size of a flycatcher and its tail looks much longer than its body. Could it be one of the Paradise Flycatchers? or something else? Please enlighten. Thanks. « Last Edit: Mar 23rd, 2006, 11:19pm by Webcreeper » Logged Fred BBS Member BBS God Birds are fascinating!     Posts: 254 Re: Pokfulam - Long Tailed Bird¡@°Ý¡G¦bÁ¡§ßªL¨£¨ìª « Reply #1 on: Mar 24th, 2006, 12:26pm » Quote Modify I am not sure if I met the same bird this morning.  Again it was at a distance and it flied in more or less a straight line, not undulating.   Logged hey BBS Member BBS Newbie I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 10 Re: Pokfulam - Long Tailed Bird¡@°Ý¡G¦bÁ¡§ßªL¨£¨ìª « Reply #2 on: Mar 24th, 2006, 4:32pm » Quote Modify Is it possible to be Blue Magpie I have met a few near QM.   But it doesn't match the size of a flycatcher.   Logged ²`ÂÅ Owen BBS Administrator LOVE KINGFISHER~!     Gender: Posts: 1358 Re: Pokfulam - Long Tailed Bird¡@°Ý¡G¦bÁ¡§ßªL¨£¨ì « Reply #3 on: Mar 24th, 2006, 5:03pm » Quote Modify actually I'd raised a similar question to some of my experience "Birder" friends, a small long tail bird white with sunlights reflex, will that be a Asian paradise flycatcher?  What else small bird got a long long tail? If I see it in Tai Po Kau I may not ask but the location is Tseung Kwan O.   « Last Edit: Mar 24th, 2006, 5:05pm by ²`ÂÅ Owen » Logged ___________________ http://www.i-owen.com ­»´ä©øÂκô http://hkinsect.net/forum Fred BBS Member BBS God Birds are fascinating!     Posts: 254 Re: Pokfulam - Long Tailed Bird¡@°Ý¡G¦bÁ¡§ßªL¨£¨ìª « Reply #4 on: Mar 24th, 2006, 9:53pm » Quote Modify In my case, it cannot be a Magpie because of the size.  I will try to find it out during the weekend.  Wish me good luck.   Logged Little Dolphin BBS Member BBS God Man and Nature, harmony forever     Gender: Posts: 248 Re: Pokfulam - Long Tailed Bird¡@°Ý¡G¦bÁ¡§ßªL¨£¨ìª « Reply #5 on: Mar 26th, 2006, 2:50pm » Quote Modify Interesting...   I did see a Japanese Paradise Flycatcher on Mt. Davis last September.   Exactly where did you see the bird? And the time of the day? Is it around the cemetary near Mt. Davis, or south of QM Hospital near the Ebenezer School for the Blind, or inside QM Hospital? Since I have to go there every day, perhaps I can identify it for you.

Davis may be a possibility since the areas are so close to each other.  I would have been there too if not for the rain.   Logged Little Dolphin BBS Member BBS God Man and Nature, harmony forever     Gender: Posts: 248 Re: Pokfulam - Long Tailed Bird¡@°Ý¡G¦bÁ¡§ßªL¨£¨ìª « Reply #7 on: Mar 28th, 2006, 9:15am » Quote Modify Tried to look for the bird this morning from 8:30 to 9:00. Haven't found it. I saw a squirrel though.
