5 Sep 2010: Around 11:00 am just observed a Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher.

The bird is off a concrete trail of Po Shan Road. From Po Shan Road, Hong Kong Island, the road narrows and curves to descend to Realty Gardens. By the uppermost curve there is a small concrete foot trail that heads in the direction of Central. Follow this trail (in the direction of Central) about 150 meters. On the right look for a large boulder and on the left a large swimming pool in the distance. The bird was low down in bamboo. Warning: mosquitoes are ferocious here. Don't go without liberal amounts of insect repellent.

Thanks for the heads-up Brendan. Still showing well at 1445.

Went back to spot at 4:00pm. Another birder was waiting and left around at 5:00--he said the birders who had it at 3:00 said the bird was calling. The bird showed again at 5:15pm. Both times I had it was completely quiet. Managed to get a few slightly better photos.

Great Record Brendan!!!
According to my record in Lung Fu Shan last 5 years and the review of LFS birds.
The Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher is a new record to LFS!!

By the way....I haven't seen it yet. Is it still there?

I stopped by this area today morning (Tuesday). I did not have too much time so I spent about 15 min in the area of the flycatcher. I did not see it but I think it could be still there. I may have time to go back later in the week to check again.
