Long Valley 26 Sep 2021 - only escapee

I was told there were three photoable snipe species in Long Valley but of course none when I was there, during a half day visit. Only escaped Yellow-crowned Bishop left, what a birding paradise!


Yellow-crowned Bishop - the only highlight of the day is escapee

Black-winged Stilt

Swin/tail Snipe - maybe Pintail because of the super short tail

Chinese Pond Heron - the default pond heron in HK, what else can be

Brown Shrike - not the subspecies I want

Better to drink

Green Apple is good

22 Sep 2021 - new page in my HK birding journey

The Canon R3 was announced but I can't see any reason to preorder if I can't travel right now, like I have no motivation to bird here even in day off.

So conclusion: bird less, drink more in this Covid decade 

remember the Tokyo-Miyakejima journey, 
woke up and got a beer, while ST/BF/Laysan Albatrosses circling around.

29 Aug 2021 - August is ending

August is ending, did not do any birding since last noddy twitch. Nothing lost. I guess I will keep this style for the coming birding season until the border opens.

drink more

eat more

Tai Lam 27 Jun 2021 - finally birding

Wasted a morning to get crappy photos of Lesser Cuckoo in Tai Lam, typical case in HK birddom (nothing photoable).

My only birding day in this Jun 2021: https://ebird.org/checklist/S90848603

Kowloon Peak and Sai Kung 23 May 2021 - birds while not birding

Always birdless in where I live, not to mention it is late May now. Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo is the best of the day.

Lesser Coucal - never photoable in HK
