Mt Faber 13Oct24

From KH

Danny and I joined the raptor watchers at Mount Faber today.

The first migrant raptor was a Chinese Sparrowhawk, 1 of 3 in total. Here are 2 of them later in the morning.

Next was a Japanese Sparrowhawk. Here are 2 of 16 that came in singles or pairs throughout the morning.

Then came the Oriental Honey-Buzzards. Here's 1 of 11 throughout the morning.

Finally, the star bird, a Besra, made an appearance at 1050hrs. No shutter count from me, but others got photos.

There was also the supporting cast of migrating Pacific Swift, Blue-tailed Bee-eaters and Barn Swallows.
