Migrants are somehow similar between HK and Taiwan so not really many lifer ticks in Mai Po. We saw Asian House Martin, an escaped male gumgum - Yellow-fronted Canary and other noticeable founds were two Greater Spotted Eagle, Kestrel, some Western Osprey, Eastern Marsh Harrier and Eastern Buzzard. Tide was not good so we did not go for boardwalk.
Blackpipi also found a strange bird, though we couldn’t see that - a blue-and-yellow flycatcher which its yellowish underparts do not extend to the chin, probably a Chinese Blue Flycatcher, which has been recorded before in Mai Po too.
The best ‘lifer’ in Mai Po should be a very big python with its diameter larger than 20cm.......
We then made a quick visit to Tai Po Kau at around 2pm. As expected not really very birdy but the green-crowned White-spectacled Warbler (but still untickable view!), Hartert’s Leaf Warbler, plenty Chestnut Bulbul were the best of boring forest!
Wish you have a good time in HK and see you soon again in Taiwan!
