You should see the other bloke...
seedyrom,
Just another thought. My wife and I stopped over for a couple days in Taipei on our way to the mainland a couple years ago (December). Although no real time to go to the birding hotspots, we did get up early one morning and took the bus from our hotel, for the short ride down the street to Daan Forest Park. Spent about an hour or so walking around the small lake and saw these birds:
Little Grebe
Black-crowned Night Heron
Grey Heron
Little Egret
White-breasted Waterhen
Common Moorhen
Spotted Dove
Taiwan Green Pigeon (A kindly local photographer pointed out this one to us. It was well camouflaged in the middle of a tree)
Common Kingfisher
Taiwan Barbet (very cool looking bird!)
Grey Treepie
Common Magpie
Chinese Bulbul
Himalayan Black Bulbul
Common Myna
Oriental Magpie Robin
So, even if you find yourself stuck the city for the day, you can still find some great birds in the local parks.
Have a great trip!
