Very beautiful birds.

I couldn't see which lens you were using but I'm guessing your 600 f/4. Did I guess correctly?

Thanks for taking the time to share your photographs with us.

When we lived in SE Asia, I didn't get to spend much time in Hong Kong. Your Flickr makes me want to remedy that next time around. Very nice.

Thanks a lot for viewing and nice comments; In fact I using 400 for forest birds and 600 water birds when I am waiting inside hut (In Mai Po). These two were taken with 400.
