Chinese Barbet is a great record, I was hoping they will arrive sometime soon...I always find it possible for them to colonize Hong Kong since the closest population is only not far form Guangzhou. I wonder if the Red-headed Trogons can make it this far...I remember seeing them in Che Ba Ling years ago.

Tai Po Kau Winter 2015

Started a new thread because it is not autumn any more.

Japanese Robin
Red-flanked Bluetail
Mountain Tailorbird
Goodson's Leaf Warbler

After seeing the reaction of other birders when I showed them these photos, checking 2012 records and searching for 'Japanese Robin' on this site, it seems this is a rare bird in Hong Kong, at least in recent years.  I didn't know this at the time so I am even more pleased with this record.

He was found just after the biggest picnic area.  I sat down to take photos of a Red-flanked Bluetail eating termites hoping to get a good shot.  After about 2 minutes the Robin flew in and I was able to get a few photos before some hikers scared it off.  I waited about 10 minutes for it to come back but it never showed.  On the way back, 2 hours later, the Bluetail was still there.

Sorry that these are already the best pictures, I guess this is a Chinese Blue Flycatcher/Hill Blue Flycatcher, also little bit look like a male Red flanked Bluetail. Any body can help to identify?

Hi Peter 2014,
could you please Indicate the location where you've seen this bird at TPK, I would be interesting to paid a look to it tomorrow morning.

Thanks

jonathan

kmatthew 28/01/2015 15:11

I think it looks most like a Red-flanked Bluetail, legs are too long and overall shape seems wrong for a flycatcher.

Jonathmartinez 28/01/2015 15:35

agree with Kmatthew, looks like a Red-flanked Bluetail, sorry I watch these pics from my phone that definitly is getting too old....
then no need the location.

peter2014 28/01/2015 17:26

Thank you Jonathon and Matthew, the pics was taken at red trail, just about 50m after the 2nd picnic area, at 11am
