What can be more difficult to find than a white-throated kingfisher in Lantau? You might be scratching your head as you think about the loud chattering "kra-kra-kra-kra" laugh of this kingfisher.
Well, my wife and I were looking for birds who don't really sing. How different things are when we decided to celebrate my wife's birthday with the Flock Project. That means we explored the trails and alleys of Lantau, navigating with intermittent mobile network coverage, to find the paintings of a British artist Rob Aspire, known as "The Birdman" for his captivating murals of birds.
The red-billed blue magpie and Swinhoe's white-eye aren't too difficult to spot. We were as enthusiastic as kids with Easter egg hunts. Imagine the fun for a couple, one of whom bird-obsessed, and another keen on drawing. The spectacle of the mural art makes us dive deep into the "birdwatching" art walk.
I won't post any spoiler here in case you want to explore. Trust me, the white-breasted waterhen is probably the most hidden one.
