Tai Tong Country Park, Yuen Long

After a tip-off, we went to the fringes of Tai Tong Country Park - which is well away from where we would normally go birding.

But after two good days there I realize we should go there more often !

A combination of cold weather, food scraps from picnickers, fallen fruit, - mainly from Persian lilac (Melia azerdarach) - has created a bird buffet.

Thrushes are usually very shy here in Hong Kong, but their hunger has made them bolder in the last few days.
