Kap Lung 甲龍 2006 Autumn 秋

Kap Lung has a very good record of turning up migrants during September and early October, including HK's first Brown-chested Flycatcher in 1995 and a Fairy Pitta in 2000. I visited on early on Sunday morning (3 September) and had the following: Dark-sided Flycatcher: 1 Pale-legged/Sakhalin Leaf Warbler: 1 (a rather green one) Eastern Crowned Warbler: 1 Arctic Warbler: 2 There were also quite a few resident species, including Yellow-cheeked Tit and a flock of perhaps 40 Grey-chinned Minivets, though as usual overall the bird density was low. The best area seems to be where there is a sign to stop the mountain bikers going down further the trail to the catchwater - sadly it is generally ignored. I wouldn't want to stop them enjoying themselves, but they do represent something of a danger at this site so beware, and get there very early. Mike Turnbull.
