Tai Po Kau

Yesterday Amanda and I went up to Tai Po Kau Park in hot pursuit of any bird. We meant to go to the nature reserve in the area, but didn't even realize we were in the wrong spot until we were leaving cause it was so birdy. There were one million Red-whiskered Bulbuls and all these:

Great looks at Fork-tailed Sunbirds




They hover a bit like hummingbirds


Japanese White-eye


Hwamei


Velvet-fronted Nuthatch, insane look in its eye


Ashy Drongo (we also saw two other species of Drongo!)




Great Tit




Yellow-cheeked Tit


Magpie Robin


Black-winged Cuckoo-shrike


Spotted Turtle Dove


And the Bird Of The Day, the Grey-chinned Minivet, this one's a male, and the female was just as stunning but with yellow in place of orange
