Is this the first record of Scarlet Minivet from HK Island?
Author: louislee    Time: 14/12/2015 12:39

One was recorded about two years before, but in Chai Wan.

I had also seen scarlet minivets 5 years ago in Lung Fu Shan near the environmental education centre, both male and female.

In May 2014, I also recorded a female scarlet minivet at HKU campus. All I found were female. Did anyone saw the male in HK island?

The Pygmy Wren Babbler is interesting. Did you see the bird or just hear from its call?
Author: Dawnleaf    Time: 22/12/2015 17:29

I have been going to the same site twice. The first time, I only heard its call. The second time, I heard its call and saw it clearly. Unfortunately, it was too dark for me to click and it disappeared immediately. I shall go again and if possible get a record photo.

Having spent most of my time in HK in the NT I have only been exploring LFS for a couple of months. I had not appreciated how recently Scarlet Minivet has moved in. I see the species most days but so far I have not photographed a male and only seen one once. It is useful going back through old posts to see what crops up here and what I might expect to see. Its not an easy patch to work. I saw no Chestnut Bulbuls until about 3 weeks ago - now they also pop up on most walks. I presume these are winter visitors supplementing the resident population.
