Fantastic - who would have expected this in such an urban location?

Thanks for posting here straight away.

Any sign of the nighjar or the rail?

Cheers

Great pictures !

Any expert tips on whether it is likely to be a nearby resident or a migrant, in that location ?

Thank you.

I think the most likely explanation is that it's a first-year bird bred in HK dispersing from it's parents territory to find a territory of it's own.

But I have no idea where it's dispersing from or to!

Thanks, John!

Without being too specific, the Tai Long Wan area is where I saw an eagle owl a few years back.

A disturbed grassland is just adjacent to The Lai Chi Kok Park. A lot of rodents may be around. So, the Eagle owl was around for hunting these rodents.
