Oriental Scops Owl Otus sunia
In our birding life, not just daytime birding, but also at night. Not many owls species in Hong Kong, we have two scops owl, Collared Scops Owl is a very common residents, another one is Oriental Scops Owl, mainly passage migrants with occasional summer record. We will never forget the excitement when seeing an owl in a peaceful night.

A review of my HK birding life 11 - Yellow-browed Warbler Phylloscopus inornatus
Yellow-browed Warbler Phylloscopus inornatus
Another common HK species. I love Phylloscopus very much because of the challenge in identification. We watched. heard and took countless Yellow-browed warblers in 5 years and this photo I love the most, taken in Shek Kong, an extra gift when looking for the rosefinch.

A review of my HK birding life 10 - Eyebrowed Thrush Turdus obscurus
Eyebrowed Thrush Turdus obscurus
There are many Turdus species in Hong Kong, especially in winter, Eyebrowed Thrush is one of them. It is a very widespread and common winter visitor, and also passage migrant in HK. But surprisingly, we only managed to get a good shot until recent winter, in Feb 2016, of a first winter bird.

A review of my HK birding life 8 - Oriental Plover Charadrius veredus
Oriental Plover Charadrius veredus
I love shorebirds, Oriental Plover is one of them. This species is a Least Concern species and a typical one using the East Asia - Australia flyway. In HK, they can only be found in a short period of time in spring and autumn, making twitching difficult. But we were lucky enough to look at two birds in close distance in one spring.
