Well well well - one for the record books! Trebles all round. I imagine the HKBWS twitchers will be beating a path to your door
Yes.... is quite a find.
The
twitchers........ don't think I have too worry too much about them......
......apart from a few hard core, most of them would have difficulty dealing with the adventure of it all...........
..............first they will need to iron their designer camouflage kits and pack their photo expedition gear in time to get the early ferry...... slurp down a Purple Cow frozen yogurt and coffee combo......, sail the roaring seas round the Cape of Pak Kok....., walk the terminal plank......, hang around waiting for a taxi that will never turn up....., dodge the kamikaze VV's......, have an early morning pint with the locals at the Island Bar....., chat with Zep about any great potential local birding spots for rare and unknown birds ....., get expert photo advice from Bob Davis......., while away a few minutes with L-G about the glories of Lamma....., navigate their way through Main Street......., don their facemasks to dampen our local scents..............., barge their way through the mindless meandering tourist flocks and window shoppers........, haggle with Lamma Fun Day ticket touts......, scoff their "fishballs on a stick"....., fight off the triads....., strategically distribute "Little Red envelopes"....., battle the drug lords........, grapple with our hooligans & graffitists...., manouevre past our buskers......, donate to LAWC........, accommodate our flower sellers....., inch past Bookmans rabid pack of dogs....., tiptoe through our dog sh*t minefield...., pay the temple keeper........, traverse our mosquito infested swamps........, leap across our open sewage system......., sneak past our natives............, smoke a spliff..........., get harangued by "Chicken Linda".........., climb my mountain........, crawl through undergrowth....., slither past the snakes....., stay upwind of the wild boar pack..........., scale my fence ringed garden......, placate my savage dogs....
..........all the time carrying their 40kg of telephoto lenses and wearing their weekend warrior grins......, just to buy a ticket for next years
Red-breasted Flycatcher follow-up tour, coz the birds didn't make it for the afternoon matinee yesterday..... they may have already moved on to warmer climes.
Don't think I have to worry about them too much.
Although they will be able to buy a ticket for this lady's bathing performance if they get here by 07:30 .....
