    I'm back, Tsim Bei Tsui!

    Last time, I was heavily disappointed at what Tsim Bei Tsui had to offer when I had arrived there not too long ago, but I am glad to say that I am giving Tsim Bei Tsui another chance. And this time, I'm not alone. I made the major mistake of going to an unfamiliar birding spot all alone last...

    Disappointment and Chaos - Back In Hong Kong

    To summarize everything, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have returned to Hong Kong for the holidays and have went birding here. The bad news is that my most recent birding trip in Hong Kong (which was yesterday) did not go well. Due to me not knowing much about the...

    Red Kite for someone special :)

    I have just realized that I don't usually post my art here... so I am posting this because I am quite proud of this quick artwork of mine. If you have read some of my previous posts, you may have noticed that I really like red kites. They have always been special birds to me, as they were the...

    Birding Man from HKG

    Hello, fellow Hong Konger residing in the UK! I hope you will have a wonderful time here!

    How did this started for all of you? (And my little story of how I got into this amazing hobby)

    As a child, I was quite interested in protecting plants and animals, and would always watch documentaries to know more about them. I might have to thank my primary school for introducing me to "birdwatching" - they made a billboard about the local birds that we could easily find around the...

    Birding Trip to Venus Pool (Shropshire)

    Oh, I didn't know that! That's just what eBird says, but since it's US-based, I guess maybe it isn't the most reliable birding platform for people in Europe. Thanks for the correction! (I sure am learning something new about birds every day...)

    Most misidentified birds in your area

    Speaking of magpies, beginner birders in Hong Kong often confuse oriental magpie-robins with oriental magpies. Despite their major size difference, I have seen this mistake occur at least three times while birding, and non-birders have confused the two so many times, leading to them telling me...

    Birding Trip to Venus Pool (Shropshire)

    Well, haven't posted much on here lately - exams and tests have been stressing me out by a lot, and have thus decreased my chances in going out to go birding. Last Sunday, I was invited to be taken out on a short trip to Venus Pool Nature Reserve early in the morning. As an amateur birder, I was...

    New Campus, New Birds

    Update: I have not been feeling good (physically and mentally) recently, and yesterday, this little Eurasian wren sung its powerful song on a tree branch while I was walking to my classroom. It was quite unusual since I have asked some adult bird lovers in my school campus about wrens, and they...

    Starting a Birding Club at my School: A Thread

    It is mostly for the pupils (who had a lot of fun during our first meeting yesterday), but I will often do collaborations with other adult-led clubs as well as Duke of Edinburgh Award participants who need to feed the birds for their programme. This can help boost the popularity of the club as...

    Birding on a Foggy Morning

    I will try to invest in some outdoor clothing when the weather is cold, and this school year, I have brought a down jacket to wear under my waterproof coat that I wear whenever I go birding, as well as some boots, gloves and waterproof shoes. Indeed, I have previously underestimated how cold it...

    A Long Week of Campus Birding: A Summary of Events

    That is really interesting to know! I can still remember them soaring through the sky as I read your reply. I have also seen buzzards and sparrowhawks quite a few times around the campus during that time, but none of those birds have produced such vivid memories in my mind for a beginner like...

    Starting a Birding Club at my School: A Thread

    As many staff members of my school are actually interested in birdwatching as well, I have asked some of them if they could maybe tell more about their experiences in birdwatching in one of our weekly meetings as a club. I am sure most of the members will find their talks rather interesting :)

    Starting a Birding Club at my School: A Thread

    I wish there was, but my school does not allow self-advertising on their website. So, I had to improvise and created a small blog on my own and shared it with all the students in my school.
