Is it avaiable in HONG KONG? Does it cost super-expensive? Anyone can share?   DH Logged isaac_chan BBS Member BBS God Praise the Creator for His amazing works!     Gender: Posts: 754 Re: Outings and Locations « Reply #16 on: Nov 9th, 2004, 5:17pm » Quote Modify AFS 300/2.8 VR is coming on January 2005. The suggested price is the same as AFS 200/2 VR.   AFS300/4 is light and sharp, you can also add 1.4x to it. But it is still not long enough, except you are planning to wait in bird hide for birds to come close. Logged For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Message above suggests that I can get on a train from Mong Kok. Is that as easy as it is? Reason I am confused is that people I asked never heard of Tung Chung   Logged Betty BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 154 Re: Outings and Locations « Reply #18 on: Nov 12th, 2004, 5:36pm » Quote Modify Andy_R,   Here is the link for the MTR Station Map http://www.hk-hotel.com/map_of_hong_kong_mtr_station.htm   Another bigger map but cannot link due to error of the page. Type the following address to view : http://hk.geocities.com/okglue/mtr.htm     Take the MTR ( the Mass Transit Railway) not KCR ( Kowloon Canton Railway) at Mongkok, change at Lai King, get off at Tung Chung. For the locals, it is as easy as ABC. « Last Edit: Nov 12th, 2004, 7:46pm by Betty » Logged Andy_R BBS Member BBS Newbie I'd rather be birding...     Gender: Posts: 8 Re: Outings and Locations « Reply #19 on: Nov 13th, 2004, 10:18am » Quote Modify Thank you yet again Betty... And it's is indeed easy as ABC for locals. But you have to ask the right question. Seems I was asking for something other than what I thought. At least that's what I am being told. I hope we have good weather tomorrow; am really itching to get out with knowledgable birders.

Birds were a bit scarce, but the company was wonderful. I enjoyed myself and hope to be able to join other outings on my future visits here. I'll try to better time them with your scheduled outings  .     I'd like to keep in touch, so if any of you would like to send me your email address, I'd very much like that. Finally, if any of you are in Toronto, please contact me if you need info.     Thanks again.

We all got wet shoes on that outing. This was my second time to have wet shoes. The first time was at Mei Po because of heavy raining. It was more worse, I got wet feet too.  Anyway, I enjoyed those outings because of unusal.  Tell us the bird's news in Toronto if you have any updated information.  Please note that Betty has sent you a private message. Bye, keep in touch.

We enjoy the walk though we get our shoes wet.   We manage to buy our lens as well. We will try it in our next outing at Christmas Island.   DH & HSIU CHUN Logged Pages: 1 2  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 »
