They have brown-eared Bulbul and Goldcrest!!!!!! Also, Two pittas!!!!

Probably it is a land-based survey.

BTW, Chalmer (1978) reported 60 streaked shearwaters 6.5 km off the Lema Islands in aug 1977

For Brown-eared Bulbul, just learnt from the internet that they are migratory spp and their distribution can be down to the islands between Taiwan and the Philippines. So, they may arrive Dongsha by nature.
