The Black-tailed Crake were easy, a total of 5 birds (3 immature and 2 adults) were seen ultimately well, while we did not have luck for the Silver Oriole (sorry for Koel and Aaron!) as the orioles were fledged last week (a bit earlier than last year), though some other birders from Guangzhou saw 6 birds in other spot of the same area. The birds in Conghua this time were inactive, morning is probably much better than afternoon. Anyway, we shall try again next time.
