Hong Kong Airport...? (1 Viewer)

[colonelboris]

Evenin' all,

I've got a two-hour stop at Hong Kong Airport - is there anything that I'm likely to see at all in that time from the airport building? I'm already tight for space for luggage and I didn't fancy adding a Hong Kong bird guide for such a short time, so any ideas welcome!
Cheers,

Tony

Since the airport is on an island, seems like you might see seabirds.... Someone else will have to say what kinds...

Tony,
Two hours is not long enough in enough time to do anything in Hong Kong as the airport is a long way out of town on Lantau Island which is not a good place for birdwatching in a hurry. It would take about 35 mins by train to get into Kowloon Park where you would see the most common birds .We don't have seabirds to speak of in HK ( no gulls around Lantau normally ) .

That was my first reading too |:$| but I guess he wants to know if you can see any birds when you look out the windows. (I tried that too from the Bangkok airport, but really saw almost nothing ||)

You won't see anything around HK airport either.
