Striated Heron
At first I thought this was a black capped night heron but when I reviewed the books, the eye colour was wrong. This bird was in the enclosure for flamingos - I suspect it eats things the flamingos will not. Species: Butorides striata (Striated heron)

Macaque
This was a solitary monkey - he dropped out of a tree and then used the handrail of the bridge to cross a stream. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > Hong Kong 14 > Macaque

Common Tailorbird
This bird is quite a bit higher than me in the tree. The nifty features (red top, green back) and sadly mostly out of view. There were several of these birds in this stand of coral tree but they move quickly. John Harvey Photo > Trips out of the Country > Hong Kong 11 > Common Tailorbird

Glassy Tiger On Billygoat Weed
There are a variety of butterflies that look pretty similar. Thankfully I have a book of local butterflies which makes it easier to figure out which of the similar types this is. The butterfly is feeding on a weed introduced from the new world. The weed contaminates feed (it is poisonous) and spreads real well.

Common Five Ring Dry Season
I didn't know this existed with butterflies - the butterflies that emerge in the dry season have a different number of spots than the ones that come out in the wet season (July here). The wet season version would have three rings on the bottom wing instead of two seen here. Species: Ypthima baldus (common fivering)

Common Five-Ring Dry Season
Another species that has similar looking species living in the same place. Species: Ypthima baldus (common fivering)
