Guided Birding
Birding spectacle at Deep Bay is a highlight for any visiting birder to Hong Kong
Although Hong Kong is relatively small, the amount of birds and birding sites can be equally diverse, spending at least one or two full days will allow a more complete birding experience. Visiting the three prime sites of Mai Po, Long Valley and Tai Po Kau should yield a good selection of species, however many potentially exciting species are found outside of these sites, we will be able to go off to some less traveled birding locations during the day.
Hong Kong is one of the few global stronghold for the rare Chinese Grassbird
Itinerary may differ throughout the seasons, each guided birding tour is exclusive and modified based on birds movements and availability at the time.
The endangered Black-faced Spoonbill is common in the winter months
You will need moderate physical fitness for a full day of birding, there will be a bit of walking involved, which will mostly be fairly flat footpaths with the exception of Tai Po Kau where there will be some hilly terrain.

I was lucky to be in Hong Kong at the beginning of May, which is slightly late for migrants. Matt took me around for 1 and a half days and was superb. He focused brilliantly on my priorities while making sure he called out everything he picked up with his excellent ears and eyes. He is really quick, ultra calm, and excellent at getting you on to the birds. He is obviously really sharp and knowledgeable and goes way beyond just finding and showing you the birds, enthusiastically taking time to tell you about the natural history, behaviour, patterns of these birds. It was a real education. And the bottom line was a whole non stop line of superb birds.
