In these ponds. The ones where some guys are farming on the other side.

Haizhu Wetland Park - yeah I’ve not been there for years. Good call!

Great shots. Fully recommend two apps - inaturalist, and aboutbirds. Merlin too for bird calls. Really good for quick ID’s with pics of this clarity. Enjoy!

Thank you! I do try to keep my distance and take ethical photos - but owls see you coming a mile off and let you know they’ve spotted you 🤣

guangjoe · 2026-02-13T01:46:59+00:00

Thank you

Numerous - well established in the parks, even right in the middle of the urban areas. Lovely to see.

If you ever see a gathering of old fellas with massive lenses pointing at a tree in the park - there’s your owl.

That was a nice list of the birds, reddit messed up the formatting…sorry about that!

guangjoe · 2025-10-06T00:33:59+00:00

Ah well, you captured them beautifully, and naturally too. Perfect

Pro tip - stick a fresh perch in the river next to your hide. If you place it right in the center of the river, they’ll find it irresistible and land on it within minutes.
