I am visiting HK next year Jan. Plan to visit Mai Po on Mon 5Jan04. Does anyone know if Mai Po is open to public on that day? Thank for help and you may write to my email copsychus@yahoo.com Regards, Tun Pin Logged Webcreeper BBS Moderator BBS Member BBS God I'm a webcreeper     Gender: Posts: 1031 Re: Visit Mai Po in Jan 04 « Reply #1 on: Nov 21st, 2003, 10:54pm » Quote Modify Mai Po is open to the public on weekends and public holidays, but you must book in advance.  Please refer to WWF (HK)'s web site:   http://www.wwf.org.hk/eng/maipo/introduction/visiting.html   I'm not sure whether the HKBWS is organizing a trip to Mai Po on that day.  If so it would be a better choice for dedicated bird watchers.

Thanks to members who responded to help and provided useful infor. I enjoyed it very much, but I wished I had got the better tide as in my previous trip. Also learnt later that I missed Oriental Stork which was spotted by someone on same day     Some of the birds seen were: -BlackFacedSP(70, 25, 17 birds on 3 occassions) 2 showed leg tags. One hid left leg and showed right leg with Green tag. Another one had green on right leg, green+red+yellow on left leg) Was it tagged in Maipo? I had a photo of it. -EurasianSP(3 among 25 BFSB) -Tufted Duck(100+ in the furthest ponds) -Female Daurian RedStart(Prominent triangular spot on wing) -Asian Pied Starling (escapee?) -Dalmatian Pelican (3 from boardwalk hide) -Unidentified Aguila eagle( One perched on pole from boardwalk hide)   Feel free to comment.   Mai Po is still one of the best birding spots I have ever been. Will definately come again if I visit Hong Kong next time.   Regards, Tun Pin 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 »
