Like Matthew, I visited TPK in the morning on 20Dec08 with a loop of an anti-clockwise direction of the red trail but left in the midway down to the end point through the shortcut steps.
和Matthew一樣, 我在08年12月20日早上也到了大埔滘觀鳥. 路程為逆時針沿紅徑走一圈, 但中途沿梯階小路捷徑回程.

Most of the birds have been seen around an area of pine trees along the shortcut steps down to the point intersecting the original red trail before crossing the stream.
大部份林鳥都在沿梯階小路捷徑往下走接回紅徑, 未過小溪前的一小片松樹林錄得.
And 1 lovely scquirrel has been found along the road to the starting point of the red trail.
另外, 在往紅徑起步點的車路途中見到一隻可愛的松鼠.
