went birding with instructor Samson So of Eco Institute in NW Hong Kong. It was a rainy day but we had fun in the 3 places we visited, Nam Sang Wai(南生圍), Long Yuen(塱原濕地), and outer Mai Po(米埔). the photos are shot with a D300 and Sigma's 150-500mm, all handheld under somewhat poor lighting conditions, and it was raining quite hard all afternoon so i have very few pics from Long Yuen and none from Maipo. so the ones i did take were not as sharp as i would've liked, but we moved around quite a bit to discourage my bringing a tripod or a monopod this time. perhaps i'll be in better conditions and staying in single spots next time.
