While eating lunch at pick-nick area 3, a Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo flew in landed about 4 meters away from me on an exposed perch just above eye-level. My camera was right by me but the slight movement to pick it up caused the bird fly. So frustrating!! Also, a Besra, a Crested Serpent-eagle and 3 Hainan Blue Flycatchers (all females).

What I think was the Bay Woodpecker was heard calling near Picnic Area 2. However, I now realize the "squirrel" call which I heard sound pretty similar between Grey-headed and Bay Woodpecker and with one reported last weekend I guess I can't rule out Grey-headed Woodpecker. But it was a woodpecker for sure.

Also two female Hainan Blue Flycatcher.

A Male Blue-throated Flycatcher was seen briefly.

Saw a possible Small Niltava (male) today in Tai Po Kau along the blue walk. If anyone else saw that bird, would be great to confirm.

Hainan Blue (female and male separately).

Eastern Crowned Warbler.

2 Hwamei on 26/8/2012.

One of them is possibly an escaped bird judging from its feather condition.

Bird-watching is a great hobby as two foreigners observed the Hwamei together, making it enjoyable.

At 21th Aug, I found there were two "blue-thoated flycatcher", one male and one female. They were flew with two Hainan Blue fly, and the size of them were a bit bigger then Hainan Blue.
Also, I found two individuals of Asian paradise flycatchers. But later on, a big rain came and needed to escape from the forest..
