I returned back to Hong Kong for half term, and in the two weeks that I was back I went birding. Upon landing in Hong Kong from London, as it was still early, me and my dad headed to Telford Gardens, where there had been a long staying Pleske's Grasshopper Warbler. As soon as I arrived, I saw a large crowd of people already on the bird, and it soon popped up above a bush.
我10月中的假期回去了香港，回去的时候有出去观鸟。我已到香港还是中午、所以我去了德福花園看史氏蝗鶯。我到了看到一大群人在拍它，等了一点点他就飞了出来。

A Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler was also present during my brief visit there.
在看它的时候一只小蝗鶯兜飞了出来。

Long Valley had been getting quite a lot of attention by photographers recently because of the buntings, and on my visit I managed to find Chestnut Eared, Little and Black Headed Buntings.
每年十月塱原会有鵐，很多人都会去看。我去是时候发现了栗耳鵐，小鵐和黑头鵐。

A few crakes have been seen of late near dusk recently, I managed to get pics of Baillon's and Ruddy Breasted Crake, but I only managed record pics of the latter. A Brown Cheeked Rail was also seen.
旁晚的时候有几种田鸡会出来，我等了几次看到了小田鸡，紅胸田雞和普通秧雞。

Russet and House Sparrows had been reported near the end of October, and so I decided to head back again to try to get a few glimpses of it. As soon as I arrived, I started scanning at the tree sparrows at the field where a few Russets had been seen a few minutes ago. For a while it was just tree sparrows, until a few paler sparrows flew in, and a quick look revealed them to be Russet Sparrows!
十月尾有人见到几只家和山麻雀，我有去了看看。我一到就看到很多树麻雀，等了几分钟之后就留意到一群不同应状的麻雀飞过来，他们就是山麻雀！
Russet Sparrows（山麻雀）
Other than the Russet Sparrows, a pair of House Sparrows had been seen recently, but they seemed to be nomadic and kept flying around the area. Thanks to a friend who notified us and we were able to make it and see a pair of them perched on a wire. Along the same wire was a few Red Collared Doves.
除了山麻雀，有人看到有一对家麻雀。有个朋友告诉我们就跑过去，刚好看到他们就是。同一条电线还有一堆 火斑鳩。

Other than these rarities, some other birds seen included Eurasian Kestrel, Common Snipe, Pallas's Grasshopper Warbler and a dark morph Long Tailed Shrike.

There wasn't too much worth mentioning there other than the many Black Browed Reed Warblers which I failed to get pics, while there was a Black Winged Kite and a pair of Pheasant Tailed Jacanas, both of which I hadn't seen this year.
除了我拍不到的黑眉葦鶯，还有看到黑翅鳶和水雉。

I also visited Mai Po, with the main target of my visit being for the Javan Pond Heron which had been seen from the Osprey hide. Since then scrape was under maintenance, most of the waders had been forced to go to gei wai 10 and 11, where some of the birds included Greenshanks, Redshanks, Whimbrel, Eurasian Curlews and Far Eastern Curlews.
我去了米埔，主要去找爪哇池鷺，在鱼鹰鸟屋。因为16/17号塘关闭，很多水鸟飞去了10号塘，有青脚鹬，红脚鹬，中杓鷸和大杓鷸。

As we continued walking, we flushed a quail-like species, and after checking my pics it was revealed that it was a Japanese Quail. A Pied Kingfisher and Daurian Redstart also gave brief views.
我们走的时候看到了一只日本鵪鶉，斑魚狗和北紅尾鴝。

As we arrived at the Osprey hide, we met some other birders which pointed us to where the Javan Pond Heron was seen, though it remained far the entire time we were observing it.
我们已到鱼鹰屋就看到其个朋友，他们指出了只爪哇池鷺。

On a visit to Po Toi, I managed to catch up on some late autumn migrants, but with the temperature still in the 30s, we would be lucky to get any rarities. Some of the standard migrants seen included Daurian Redstart, Taiga and Asian Brown Flycatcher, Chestnut Bunting and Blue Rock Thrush.
我去了蒲台島找迁徙鸟，我发现了北紅尾鴝，红喉姬鹟，北灰鹟，栗鵐和蓝矶鸫。

Back at Caldecott Road, the Ashy Drongos have returned for the winter, but so far they all seem to be the subspecies leucogenis.

I tried skywatching from my apartment, where I have encountered a few good raptors. One of the closer migrating raptors seen flying by included Eurasian Hobbies and Eastern Buzzards.
我在家里试了观天，发现了几只

There was a flock of 8 Grey-faced Buzzards were seen circling, but they were all quite far out. Mixed in them were also a Japanese Sparrowhawk and an Oriental Honey Buzzard.
还有一群灰面鵟鷹，但是很远。还有一只日本松雀鹰和鳳頭蜂鷹。

Other than skywatching from my place, we visited Ngong Ping as there had been reports of Eurasian Hobbies and Kestrels flying up to 20 meters from birders as they circled Lion's Head Mountain. We got there during late afternoon, and once we arrived the first birds we noticed were Kestrels and Hobbies. During our stay, they would fly extremely close, giving us amazing views, we even counted over 10 hobbies!
我还去了昂坪看猛禽，其他人看到燕隼和红隼在20米飞过！我们下午去，一到就见到了燕隼和红隼。
Eurasian Kestrel（红隼）
Eurasian Hobbies - at least 4 birds shown here（燕隼-四只）
We soon saw a few buzzard-like birds coming in from the south-west, and they flew right next to us before circling and gaining height right above us! As they flew closer, they were revealed to be Eastern and Grey-Faced Buzzards.
我们等了一个小时之后看到了三只普通鵟在我们头顶飞过！几分钟之后一堆灰面鵟鷹都飞过了。

Before leaving, we spotted a few distant raptors, there was an Oriental Honey Buzzard along with a harrier sp.
走之前看到了很远的猛禽，有鳳頭蜂鷹和一种鹞。

An Oriental Scops Owl had been found near Central, and on the day it was seen again it attracted quite a crowd, including me. It was a beautiful rufous morph, which was the rarer one. On my visit, it stayed on it perch quite close to us, and would occasionally wake up and cause a flurry of shutters to go off from the birders.
我走前一日有人在中環发现了一只紅角鴞，我已知道就跑过去看。我去时，它一直待在离我们很近的栖木上；偶尔醒来时，总会引得在场的观鸟者们纷纷按下快门。
