(c) of what bird is the Koel a parasite on Hong Kong Island? (d) What species of swift nests on Waglan? Swifts with white rumps have nested recently, but have not yet been identified. (e) Does the Jungle Crow nest on Hong Kong Island, and if so, where?
(f) Does the White-faced Wagtail nest at Kai Tak Airfield? Adults have been seen entering suitable nesting sites there in the spring, and birds have sometimes been seen in summer.
As I write this, the time for me to leave Hong Kong draws near. During three years here, the birds of the Colony have given me many hours of enjoyment. I hope that this article may interest at least some readers in going out to see the birds for themselves, and I feel sure that, if they do, they will not regret it.
