Dear All.
I have spent several days last two weeks at Bavi National Park for raptors migration. Several species have been recorded including Oriental Honey Buzzard (mostly Pale Morph >200), Crested Serpent Eagle (>10), Japanese Sparrowhawk (>50), Amur Falcon (>10), Grey-faced Buzzard, Chinese Sparrowhawk, Himalaya Buzzard, Pied Harrier and resident Crested Goshawk. Most of the migratory individuals were recorded at the high up so difficult to get the nice photos. I hope more raptors will passing the site this week or next week.

Great Hung ! I have a question. You told me that you observe the birds from the "swimming pool" in the hotels/restaurants area, so at about 500m a.s.l. Why this place and not the summit at 1,200m ?

Hi Seb!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good question. I have tried several time at the top before but mainly cloudy and it seems to be the raptors making the "streams" along the hill side. We need some more counters there.
Cheers!
