Thanks Wilson.
I was cycling along the Frontier Closed Road after my bird watching in Mai Po yesterday and this bird suddenly jumped out and stood at a few metres from me. It remained there while I stopped my bicycle, slowly took out my camera, switched it on, manual focused without tripod (which was already packed below my backpack), and took enough shots.
A male Daurian Redstart did similar thing (suddenly showed up at close distance and let me took enough shots) on Friday, at another location in Mai Po.
(There is absolutely no need for any bait... I cannot understand why so many people use baits in Long Valley these days!)
