With its distinctive plumage of bright yellow anorak and safety helmet, the yellow stormwatcher only emerges from its nest during typhoons. Its natural habitat appears to be the Star Ferry concourse in Tsimshatsui, where it seems to be particularly intrigued by the sight of intrepid tourists foolish enough to venture out being buffeted by the wind. However, little is known about the hiding place and habits of this species at non-typhoon times, and ornithologists agree that much more research is needed into this mysterious example of local wildlife.

Love the "I'm about to be blown away" pose, while a bunch of people stand around casually in the background, as if it's a completely normal, rainy day. :-)
Seeing some of the shots on the news later, I should have said foolhardy, rather than intrepid, tourists (and some locals). And what about the idiot who left his car parked right on the waterfront in Sheung Wan where waves were breaking over it?
