Today is my birthday and so I was trying my birthday luck for twitching the Water Pipit - a HK tick for me.
A chaotic HK, and the traffic was down but I could not imagine that I still arrived the spot in early morning, and had good view of the pipit.

However, the traffic didn't allow me to be back to work..... After getting stuck in bus for several hours, I decided not to work so made a little bit birding nearby before heading home.
Alighting in Kowloon Bay resulted the same Lesser Shortwing, but too quick for a photo.
Another quick walk in Ho Man Tin just gave me 2 Red-flanked Bluetail, 2 naughty Mugimaki Flycatcher and a flock of Chestnut Bulbul.

Anyway an unexpected off and birdy day in my birthday.
My 2019 HK Big Year is 277.
