Seems there still isn't record of the Straited Yuhina 栗耳鳳鶥 in Tai Po Kau (but present in Ng Tung Chai) this winter. Strange?

White-browed laughingthrushes?! interesting! i thought it is only present in HKZBG on HK island.

It seems that a wild boar has always been present near red walk recently.

some highlights today.

At around 8:45 there was a flock of 25+ Striated Yuhinas mid way above the entrance. (sorry they were on high trees so no photo.)
After that i heard the noisy little mice...Pygmy Wren Babbler at the picnic area(large one) and got an unclear photo. Hope i will get a clear and sharp one one day.

at about 12:45 a bird wave at the same picnic area: Grey-chinned minivets, Chestnut bulbul, Minlas, Rufous-capped babbler, Nuthatches, Grey-headed Flycatcher, Goodson's Leaf Warbler, Pallas's Leaf Warblers, Tits, and etc.. and the most attractive one was a Black-naped Monarch, this one having a white patch on its wings - which was different from the ones some time ago. It was quite entertaining to watch it bathing at the little stream next to the picnic area.

Some note about mammals first:
Wild boars appear again in the same valley next to the Red Walk...this time in a group of 4. It was exciting watching them running away after scary roars.
Monkeys still hanging around near picnic area.



Back to birds...the Black-naped Monarch seen last week(which has a white patch on its wings) was seen again today.
And also a bright yellow Goodson's Leaf Warbler. An Ashy Drongo was seen by another birder at the access road.
