Spectacular scenery in Nam Sang Wai

It's not wise to visit Nam Sang Wai during overcast day if you would like to spend a morning there to enjoy photographing birds. They could hardly stand out from the background as sunlight is unavailable. Tide was particularly low during my visit today and it's a pity that fish boat had interrupted and flushed the large flocks of ducks away. Fortunately the early morning light is great enough to paint the sky, offering a special chance of seeing rosy clouds.

Diversity of birds was disappointing today. I personally enjoy seeing Black-faced Spoonbill pretty much and they gave me several decent views which excited me a bit.

Grey Heron seems not easy-going which usually acts quite fierce to other smaller birds.

Black-headed Gull is the most abundant gull species wintering in Hong Kong.

Wake up early and you'll see something different.
