[QUOTE="PJSharp, post: 3547989, member: 118519"] [U]Day 1 - Kowloon, HK [/U] Our flight arrived on time, and it only took us 30 minutes to clear security and collect our bags. As we had seats in the middle section of the plane no birds were seen on arrival, and as we left the airport by bus I couldn't identify a few roadside mynas. Arriving at our stop in Kowloon the first identifiable birds of the trip were a few [B]Tree Sparrows[/B]. After collecting the keys to our flat for our stay, dropping off our bags and changing we headed out. In muggy 24C overcast weather we walked over to the King's Park, a new place for me, quite birdy with lots of common urban HK birds. We saw [B]Feral Pigeon[/B], [B]Spotted Doves[/B], [B]Red Whiskered [/B] and [B]Light-vented Bulbuls[/B], [B]Masked Laughingthrush [/B], [B]Black-collared Starling[/B], [B]Oriental Magpie-Robin[/B], a single [B]Black-eared Kite[/B], [B]Cinereous Tits[/B], a [B]Yellow-browed Warbler[/B], [B]Common Tailorbird[/B] and many more [B]Tree Sparrow[/B]. As these are all common birds here I shan't now repeat them elsewhere in HK. Finally as the evening closed in we spent 40 minutes in Kowloon Park, adding [B]Alexandrine Parakeets [/B]and [B]Black-crowned Nightherons[/B]. Tiredness and a light drizzle encouraged us home. That's all for today. Given rugby 7s over next few days it might be Monday before my next update. All the best, Paul [/QUOTE]
