Accoring to "Avifauna of Hong Kong" there have only been 4 confirmed sightings in HK of this species since 1958.

Nam Sang Wai is proving to be an important environmental site.

This bird which was originally first seen Saturday seems to have significant cage damage to the tail in a manner similar to the bird seen a few weeks ago at Long Valley. I am hoping some other photographers can post some more pictures so we can better judge possible damage but I am very much afraid this bird might not be of wild origin.

Thanks Brendan, unfotunately only one other person took a photograph of the bird and he only had a 500mm lens. The video lens is over 3000mm
