I was surprised to see a large number of Terek Sandpipers still there (50) as well as 20 Great Knots. A Swinhoe's Egret (non-breeding) flew in about 11.00 am and I was lucky to get my best photo yet of a White-Winged Tern (only 1 in breeding color ).   On the way out Bena pointed out the Pheasant-Tailed Jacana to me at Hide 9. We had to go to the third level as it was at the back left. This was the first time for me. Neil ps these were digiscoped from 80 -100 metres   Mai Po Nature Reserve, Hong Kong, China. 26/05/06 Olympus 7070wz plus Swarovski STS80HD scope and Sw 30x eyepiece and DCA adapter « Last Edit: May 28th, 2006, 9:14pm by Webcreeper » Logged Allen BBS Member BBS God Early Birder gets more birds...     Posts: 143 Re: Mai Po yesterday 26th, May « Reply #1 on: May 27th, 2006, 4:45pm » Quote Modify Hi Neil,   Are there two White-winged Terns at the bottom of 1st photo?   Allen « Last Edit: May 27th, 2006, 4:46pm by Allen » Logged David_Diskin BBS Member BBS Senior Member I love bird watching!     Posts: 89 Re: Mai Po yesterday 26th, May 五月廿六日米埔 « Reply #2 on: May 29th, 2006, 9:11pm » Quote Modify Allen -   As I've looked at the photographs and seen your question, perhaps I can offer a brief reply.     There are 3 White-winged Terns in the first picture - a breeding-plumaged bird and a non-breeding plumaged bird at the bottom and another non-breeding bird at top right.   The head pattern of the non-breeding birds (a vertical black stripe behind the eye) is distinctive.    Neil - Nice photos!   dave Logged Allen BBS Member BBS God Early Birder gets more birds...     Posts: 143 Re: Mai Po yesterday 26th, May 五月廿六日米埔 « Reply #3 on: May 29th, 2006, 11:17pm » Quote Modify Dave,   Thanks for the detailed explanation.   Allen 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 »
