This is not a bird record but a mammal record. An otter was seen just outside the Hide #8 in Mai Po on 01/10/2004. As it was running very fast, only an unsharp photo of its rear part was captured. Forrest

Hi Felix, This should be a mongoose instead of an otter. The skin of an otter is always wet and its size is much bigger than the mongoose. This was my first time to see the otter in HK. Forrest
