Lamma Island - Spring 南丫島 - 春 2009

Lamma Island - Spring 南丫島 - 春 2009

Though it's also located at the southern HK, Lamma Island is not a birding site as popular as Po Toi.  Shown from other members that some nice birds have also been found in Lamma, I started my 1st birding in Lamma last Sun (3May09).
It was a very comfortable and convenient birding site, though the result on that day was not so satisfactory (only 1 or 2 extraodrinary species had been found).  After a ferry, I was able to go birding, hiking and dining just near the small area of Yung Shue Wan.  Right besides the villages were some woodland areas that many birds kept calling, like the cuckoos.  Further from the villages, I walked along the Family Walk and visited Pak Kok village.  There, it was just like a paradise and I've never thought of such a peaceful village with seaview and spacious gardening area in HK!  Most of the birds were found along this trail.

A pity that I could not see a lesser coucal, that has been seen before in Lamma Island.

雖然南丫島也是位於香港南方, 但這個島的觀鳥人氣永遠都不及蒲台這麼熱.  不過, 我在上星期天(09年5月3日)都試到這個島觀鳥, 因為其他鳥友久不久都會在這個島找到些比較特別的鳥種.

它真是一個方便又舒服的觀鳥地, 縱然這天我找到特別的鳥種只是寥寥可數.  船程過後, 我就可以在榕樹灣及其附近小小的範圍中遠足, 觀鳥及用餐.  村屋的兩旁便是林區, 很多雀如杜鵑已不斷在唱鳴.  我沿著家樂徑離開村落到較偏遠的地方, 並到訪了北角村.  那裡真的像一個世外桃源.  我從未想過香港境內還有這樣的一個寧靜, 有充足綠化園林空間的的海邊小村落!  大部份的鳥種都是在家樂徑沿途錄得的.

有一點可惜未能找到小鴉鵑.  我記得之前有人在南丫島見過牠.
