I did the same in TPK this time. « Last Edit: May 20th, 2003, 9:04pm by Daniel CK Chan » Logged Daniel CK Chan http://www.danielckchan.com Hendrix BBS Member BBS God I love wings!     Gender: Posts: 1001 Re: Chestnut Bulbul 栗背短腳鵯 « Reply #5 on: May 20th, 2003, 7:38pm » Quote Modify I still learning to find the good spot, sometime I wait for around 30min, may be I need to wait longer Logged www.look.hk welcome you Griffin BBS Member BBS God     Gender: Posts: 139 Re: Chestnut Bulbul栗背短腳鵯 « Reply #6 on: Jun 2nd, 2003, 12:03am » Quote Modify on May 20th, 2003, 1:52pm, Daniel CK Chan wrote:   Just next to the river stream around the starting point of red/blue/yellow/brown roads.   Near to the dam? Your photo indicates it is in a quite open area in TPK, there is not that much openess actually.  All I used to find there is spider. Anyway, will note this spot also.     Griffin.

He/she only allowed me to take 2 photos and then flied away. I had hurried up and the other one had shown his/her better posture. However, it is blurred because of my careless. You can wander around but I would suggest to wait for taking photos. However, those hikers or wanderers with loudly noise will probably stop them from re-visiting there. « Last Edit: Jun 2nd, 2003, 2:01pm by Daniel CK Chan » Logged Daniel CK Chan http://www.danielckchan.com Griffin BBS Member BBS God     Gender: Posts: 139 Re: Chestnut Bulbul栗背短腳鵯 « Reply #8 on: Jun 2nd, 2003, 2:33pm » Quote Modify on Jun 2nd, 2003, 12:34am, Daniel CK Chan wrote:   Yes, the photo was taken over there at 3:00pm that day.

But if you work hard and patient, as some posts over NPN say, one day you will win your prize.   I am not sure about the spot you take this since most of the time there were either crested bulbuls and Japanese white eyes. May be I have not "pushed" my luck any furuther.   Humm, I learnt about two "target-rich areas" (a submariner term)along red/blue paths. (see my post about that little reward over ID Forum) Actually, that day, I lost quite many opportunites when I was busily shooting a gaintic damsfly! (so much for a "nature" photographer!)   Some fellow HKBWS members tell me that it is the best to go there on Sat mornings or weekdays (but I am glad I have to work in the latter peroid) Also, I think rainy days may also help to cut down the "noise" too.   Lastly, isn't birding season over in TPK? -- Oh, I guess not.   See ya around.     Griffin.

But I got very frustrated every time I went to TPK. Have tried walking most of the tracks at different hours. Also tried waiting at some more open areas for hours. But not much luck. I must admit that I can see more birds in urban parks then in TPK - very frustrating   Help from anyone is much appreciated.   Thanks,   Angus Logged Griffin BBS Member BBS God     Gender: Posts: 139 Re: Chestnut Bulbul 栗背短腳鵯 « Reply #10 on: Jun 2nd, 2003, 10:04pm » Quote Modify As I said I am not master, either.  I cannot describe exactly where but I just know. Sorry.   I think one other sweet spot is the nature study near to the park keeper's house.   If the weather is fine and the season is right, you will find a lot of other BWS member there, keep looking for people with binoculars.   See ya!     Griffin.   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 »
