Finally to conclude what I have done in HK in the 2019 Big Year. I am not a rich guy so basically I can only bird in weekend, twice a week after leaving the HK Wetland Park. A total of 304 species were seen / heard and uploaded to eBird, including the introduced species. My top four species were highlighted below (a boring year which I cannot find the 5th....)
Not a bad year but I prefer birding overseas more from now on. 😉
