Any nice experiences? Feel free to share.
In Hong Kong where I live, the only example I can think of is the canteen at Wetland Park. It overlooks a large pond. The best bird that can be hoped for over there is probably Pheasant-tailed Jacana. Normally, you will have a few egrets, a Chinese Pond Heron, some cormorants, a White Wagtail (the resident subspecies leucopsis) that comes quite close, maybe a Pied or White-throated Kingfisher.
When I was visiting Ajman (north of Dubai) the golf club had plenty of birds, but I didn't ask to go in - I simply went to the restaurant that has a view of the club, and the manager was kind enough to let me scope from there. All kinds of waders, including Broad-billed Sandpiper, which made my day.
