HK Wetland Park 17 Sep 2018 - a day after typhoon

Typhoon Mangkhut did not hit HK directly but still caused serious damage to many aspects, like many trees were fallen or places were flooded in my local patch.

the 'mudflat' was flooded, but good for phalarope which is new for me here 

fallen trees everywhere, but the scops owl tree is strong and up still

Nothing 'unexpected' came to my patch, like (injured) seabirds, but still got two new ticks here: Red-necked Phalarope and Whiskered Tern (not Black!).

the flooded mudflat is safer than the sea for these 3 Red-necked Phalarope, one adult and two first winter

Whiskered Tern - no idea why this species was a first. At least 7 were seen, some were still in partly summer plumage

a post-typhoon meal for Chinese Pond Heron

this one with a geolocator, a project we always want to investigate more

The full checklist is here, not an astonishing one after typhoon, but there are plenty chances coming as there will be much more "super typhoon" due to global warming in future.
