Kremer
Where did you find the Chinese barbet? It seems that the HK1st has stayed.
Thanks.

[font=Arial]Hi Tai,
It was found at the mid point of Red / Blue walk, between the First and Second picnic site around 9am. [/font]

This bird looks a bit like a juvenile to me - the colours on the head are not very bright (compare this: [url]http://www.hkbws.org.hk/BBS/viewthread.php?tid=23071&highlight=barbet[/url]) and the body feathering looks 'loose', especially around the vent.
Is it possible that the bird from earlier this year not only stayed but found a mate and bred?

Dear Kremer and John
thanks for your information and suggestion.
TPK looks interesting for some visits this autumn.
