As The Crow Flies - a Hong Kong Birding Blog. Birds in Hong Kong and slightly further afield. Birding in Hong Kong. Mai Po Nature Reserve. Wednesday, 31 December 2014. The one and a half hour I waited there was not pleasant.I dare say my worst birding experience ever. With photographers constantly talking so loudly that I am sure people from the sports field could hear them! Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher (record shot). I know this will be the best chance for me to finally nail this bogie bird. Mai Po w...

Got news from Captain about a Drongo Cuckoo he heard last week near Lam Tsuen, but I haven't had time to investigate into his finding, which will be the first summer record in HK if accepted! Stretch of small river near She Shan. Lesser Coucal (taken with Canon 7D 400mm f/4 DO). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Kinaba...

Birding Et Cetera: March 2013
http://birdingetcetera.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
A chronicle of my birding and ornithological ventures across the globe. Saturday, March 16. NANPA Summit - Jacksonville, FL. Twelve of us, graduate and undergraduate students from across North America, eventually converged on Big Talbot Island, after a series of flight delays and cancellations. For the first part of the week, we would be staying in a house owned by the North Florida Land Trust, and spending all of Wednesday and Thursday shooting people and places on the island.

Fraser's Hill - 2/11/2014 - 3/11/2014. It gave us some excellent views for over ten minutes before going back into the cover of the forest. Just as we thought our luck couldn’t get better a flock of Sultan Tits dropped by to a short tree and gave very close views of this canopy dwelling species for our enjoyment. The poor bird was disorient...

Monday, 16 February 2015. 1W Ring-billed Gull at Swanpool. Photographed at Swanpool Sunday afternoon 15th Feb. Links to this post. Little Bunting at Gulval, Cornwall. This Little Bunting was found feeding in some set-aside between Gulval and Ludgvan. It was originally found by Paul St.Pierre of the RSPB whilst out checking set-aside sites. The bird remained faithful to a small corner of the field and stayed low for long periods. Images taken with a Nikon D800e body and 500mm F4 lens. Links to this post.

The Guiding Light: June 2009
http://oxypogon.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Adventures in guiding. Leading birding trips around the world. Tuesday, June 16, 2009. I made my first foray into video-making last weekend, with the able assistance (she might claim direction) of my sister Rebecca. We headed down to Montrose harbor and environs and filmed some clips of me, birds, and me talking about birds, and put it all together into a single, semi-coherant video. Enjoy! Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Working the migrant traps. Yes, they are looking at a bird. A Kentucky Warbler, no les...

As The Crow Flies - a Hong Kong Birding Blog. Birds in Hong Kong and slightly further afield. Birding in Hong Kong. Mai Po Nature Reserve. The prime site for forest species, birding at Tai Po Kau can be exciting and challenging, however it can also be frustrating at times. As with all forest birding, birds move fast and lights are usually poor. Dense vegetation also make clear views hard to come by. You will need a lot of patience to slowly unravel the birds that take refuge in this forest. A common but ...
