Tai Po Kau 11 Feb 2019 - the 30th failure

That's right, today was the 30th failure for the White-spectacled Warbler......... I really think we can see one in mainalnd before in HK, so Jon please help us. And of course, we still have long way to go.

No matter what, we did have a relaxing day in Tai Po Kau, watching some local or wintering birds brainlessly (together with the Chestnut Bulbul), like Two-barred, Hartert's Leaf, Sulphur-breasted Warbler, Speckled Piculet and Ashy Drongo, even no good photos can be taken.

Checklist is here and my 2019 Big Year is 155: https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S52582153

Hartert's Leaf Warbler - showing less contrasting head pattern, duller yellowish tone and the climbing behavior help separating from Sulphur-breasted Warbler

Brown Shrike - a molting bird

Black-throated Laughingthrush

Sulphur-breasted Warbler - much more lemon-colored (especially the vent) and contrasting head pattern

Speckled Piculet - a naughty one...

our first time to see cows in Tai Po Kau... including a baby one

peaceful Great and Little Egret
