HK Wetland Park 7 Oct 2018 - raptors and bee-eaters

Clear, sunny sky continuing with Northeasterly moonsoon, I expect there will be lots of active migrants in my patch.

Turning out not many ‘land birds’ were seen but clearly there was an influx of both Dusky Warbler and Black-browed Reed Warbler here and some other unidentified calling Acrocephalus in the reed, probably still Black-browed (I did try to play Manchurian Reed for long, when can we tick one?).

Black Drongo

On the sky, 7 raptors were recorded, including Black-eared Kite, Western Osprey, Eastern Buzzard, Crested Serpent Eagle, Besra, Japanese Sparrowhawk and Peregrine Falcon.

Surprised species of the day should be Blue-tailed Bee-eater, a flock of 15 continued migrating in lunchtime.

probably the best lunchtime in my working life here, not about the birds but food
