World Trip Reports
My Trip To Hong Kong, Australia & Singapore
hello,
i am shortly about to embark on my first Mega Birding abroad trip (10th Nov) and i want to give as much help as i can to anybody who is planning a similar trip in the future. This Website has been really helpful to me in the months i have been planning where to go during my adventure
I aim to obviously have a bloody good holiday with my misses and Daughter, and hopefully see as many new lifers as i can. My Itinarary is as follows
11th Nov-14th Nov Hong Kong.
I am planning to Visit Kowloon Park and Hong Kong Park & the Peak with the family in tow so this should hopefully get me some of the common species in the bag before my big day out when the family and Outlaws go to Disneyland, I'm taking myself to Tai Po Kau and Mai Po which if it produces as many goods as what i have researched should be an absolute belter of a day. so fingers crossed
15th Nov-8 Dec Australia.
Here i spend the majority of my time in the Sydney Area but i have also got a 5 day excursion to Northern Queensland where i am going to Cairns, Daintree and Kuranda this should produce some real blinders with Southern Cassowary, Buff Breasted Paradise Kingfisher and Little Kingfisher hopefully will be my stars of the Trip here
Whilst In the Sydney area i am going to go to Royal National Park, the Olympic Parklands, Wariewood Wetlands, Long Reef, amongst others But the big day in this area should be my guided trip to the Capertree Valley, this is home to the Regent Honeyeater, Supurb Lyrebird and a host of parrots.
8th Dec - 10th Dec Singapore
here i am going to go to the Botanical Gardens and Bukit Timah i think it is only quite common stuff to be found here but nonetheless they will be lifers and still pretty cool as far as i'm concerned!
I will be updating here and http://buckos-birds.blogspot.com as and when the opportunity arrises
many thanks for reading
