An interesting question as there are a cupl eof birds which I've seen just beyond the boundaries.
I roughly use the area that can be defined by the boundaries of the village, plus the catchment for the river that runs through it and is generally known by the same name as the village.
Unusually for Hong Kong I live out of earshot of a road so record everything I see and hear from my 2nd floor flat. Formhere I can see fields used for flower cultivation, hills rising to over 700m with a mix of grassland, regenerating secondary forest and fungshui woodland.
50 metres away is the start of a trail up through the river valley. This contains 3 waterfalls including one of about 30m high set in some of the best forest in Hong Kong. The species count shows how good it is.
Cheers
