    Fair enough Owen - Eagle Owl is a real brute in flight and I’m interested to hear you’ve had Ural Owl before - one of my most wanted birds! Cheers Mike

    An interesting read Owen - love the idea of the Malamute playing with the magpies! Eagle Owls and Long-eared Owls also migrate and they may be other possibilities for your big owl. Cheers Mike

    Sounds like a terrific day at Gedalou Owen, especially after fining all the trashed habitat closer to home. Great pix of the Oriental Storks , and I love that first shot of the massed Baikal Teals. Could I ask if you have any pix of any of the sawbills - the 20 Scaly-sided Mergansers especially...

    Great stuff Owen - that family of Hoopoes is truly special! Delighted to hear your wife ha been bitten by the birding bug - hopefully that means more birding and less non-birder expectation management for you! Cheers Mike

    Sorry to hear about the trashing of nearest park Owen, but nice to get both waxwings just a day apart, and male Bramblings are really smart birds! Cheers Mike

    Sounds like migration is really kicking in Owen. Sounds like you need more visits to reservoirs that don't exist! Oystercatcher and Shelduck are both pretty rare down here - the shots of both are wonderful. What an honour to take one upside the head from a Saunders's Gull! I never knew they...

    Hi Owen That small pond at Gedalou with all the ducks in their breeding finery sounds wonderful! Your expert guide ... not so much! I’m interested in the magpies demolishing the kestrel nest. Not something I’ve heard of previously. Cheers Mike

    A double tick day - Great stuff Owen! nice pix of the grebes too! Love the pic of the young Little Grebes on the back - it's clear that is absolutely not what they were designed to do! Cheers Mike

    A cool woodpecker shot Owen. I admire your phlegmatic approach to the vagaries of bureaucracy - drives me nuts when I butt heads with it! Cheers Mike

    How cool to have both parrotbills nearby! Cheers Mike

    Definitely Wood sandpiper Owen. I think the feathers on the side of the breast have fluffed up over the point of the wing leaving that funny white spot. This bird is too spotty on the back from Common Sand, which is typically a duller green. Also its more elegant. Common Sandpipers are more...

    Wonderful that the terns have increased - and even better if that's as a result of Govt public service announcements! Those baby Azure-wnged Magpies are just brilliant! Never reveal the secrets of your brilliance to your spouse! That little snippet really made me smile! Cheers Mike

    It's great when local habitats suddenly come alive. Congratulations on your terns and the minivet. I also enjoyed your owl and kestrel posts - especially the owls from home! Cheers Mike

    Fantastic day Owen! Your geese are White-fronted - and gorgeous! there's something special for me about geese against a winter sky - and while Hong Kong is not likely to witness this anytime soon, I have just enjoyed a few thousand Snow and Ross's Geese, plus a handful of White-fronts in the...

    Hi Owen Very good to hear of birds returning as the drought recedes. Your Rosefinch looks like a female Pallas's to me! https://www.hbw.com/ibc/photo/pallass-rosefinch-carpodacus-roseus/female-type Cheers Mike
