The weather was sunny and warm. Fortunately, it wasn't very humid and gentle breeze have been blowing through out the trip hence making our trip more enjoyable. The outing should actually be given 3 asterisks instead of 2. It turned out to be rather strenuous. We started at 8:45am from Wu Kau Tang carpark, arrived at Sam Ah Tsuen around 10:30am, reached the fish ponds near Lai Chi Wo at 11:30am where Crested Kingfisher was found before.  We then had lunch at Lai Chi Wo by around 1:30pm. By 3pm we were around Fan Shui Au. Finally arriving at Luk Keng by 5pm.     It was a pity that we failed to spot the Crested Kingfisher at Lai Chi Wo. Nevertheless, at the fish ponds in that area, we found a Sharp tailed Sandpiper. Scarlet backed Flowerpeckers were abundant and their beautiful colors were enjoyed by most participants against a background of forget-me-not blue sky.  One of the most impressive moment of the trip was a "fight" between a gorgeous White Bellied Sea Eagle and a smaller but swifter Crested Goshawk. The show lasted for about 30 seconds and was well observed by almost all of us.     Our bird count was 34, not too bad for such a warm and sunny day.     Cormorant,   Grey , Chinese Pond, Little Green Heron. Great, Little, Cattle, Reef Egret. Black eared Kite WBS Eagle. Crested Goshawk.   ? Besra (not enough time to confirm) ? Peregrine Falcon (too far away to confirm) Common, Sharp Tailed Sandpipers Spotted dove. Greater Coucal Common, Black Capped, White Breasted Kingfishers Tree Sparrow, White, Yellow wagtails Chinese, Crested Bulbuls Magpie Robins, Siberian Stonechat, Blue Rock Thrush, Plain Prinia Great Tit Scarlet Backed Flowerpeckers. Long Tailed Shrikes. Dusky Shrikes. Black Drongo Collared Crow.     It seems that most of our birders are good hikers too! We have finished almost 15 km.     TH Kwan.       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 »
