Although Tuesday is a quiet day, a Plain-tailed warbler was found that prompt me to visit the island again on Thursday. This is totally a different day, birds sounds are everywhere on the island and some other good birds are found, 3 hours are really not enough...

Thanks Peter, a good day. I am sure from your other photo (not shown) that this is a Red-breasted Flycatcher.

I've mentioned before how in autumn it sometimes takes three or four days after the cold front passes through before the birds arrive - see these graphs comparing Spring (when birds arrive immediately after the cold front) and Autumn (when it can take a few more days). This is all due to the different migration routes in spring and autumn, across the sea in spring and over land/around the coast in autumn.

The cold front passed through on Sunday, the Alstrom's (Plain-tailed) Warbler arrived soon after but the others took longer.

I understand a Hume's Leaf Warbler was also seen on Thursday near to the Alstom's, photos taken and voice recordings made. But they are not mine.

Adding on the 7th list
Brambling x3

Sorry for the late reply.

For the Red-Breasted Flycatcher on 3 and 5 of Nov. I wonder whether it is a Red-throated Flycatcher or a Red-Breasted Flycatcher. Attached is another photo I took on 3 Nov with Peter together. My bible "The BIRDS of HONG KONG and SOUTH CHINA" do not have description on Red-Breasted Flycatcher and so I am not sure how to distinguish the two. Thanks

Attached pls find the photo of the same bird on that day.

This one looks like Red-throated KK - are you sure it's the same bird?

I think I took the photo together with Peter at that day.

Good records Leo. Particularly interested in the Flycatcher.

The second thrush photo above looks like Brown-headed or possibly Eyebrowed to me - grateful for other opinions.

Thanks wgeoff.
There are more photos on other post for identify the flycatcher.

I think it's a Brown-headed. Great set of records for Po Toi!

Niltava still here,
And a Marten's Warbler near the school.

Other:
Pale Thrush
Japanese Thrush
Brown-headed Thrush
Grey-backed Thrush
Chinese Blackbird
Daurian Redstart
Red-flanked Bluetail
Yellow-browed Warbler
Pallas's Leaf Warbler
Dusky Warbler

Bunting sp.

Saw photos of Chestnut Bunting and Eyebrowed Thrush from other.

Seems like a good season for Seicercus warblers all around. Plain-tailed, White Specs and Marten's!
