Can someone confirm please as I'm not great with warblers? Neil.   Lamma Island, Hong Kong, China.   15/02/06   Nikon D2x plus Nikon 300/2.8 AFS lens   Logged miket BBS Member BBS God I'd rather be birding!     Posts: 257 Re: Unsure warbler on Lamma? « Reply #1 on: Feb 15th, 2006, 10:26pm » Quote Modify It's a Japanese (aka Manchurian) Bush Warbler Cettia diphone/canturians. Note especially the chestnut forehead and crown, less distinct super than Dusky (especially in front of the eye), +general size and proportions - a bigger bird than Dusky with a longer tail, heavier bill and stronger looking legs, all typical features of the genus Cettia in comparison with Phylloscopus.   I wonder if you heard it call - a churring call, very different from the 'tak' of Dusky.   Mike Turnbull Logged Neil BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 498 Re: Unsure warbler on Lamma? « Reply #2 on: Feb 16th, 2006, 7:49am » Quote Modify Mike,    Thanks, this is a first for me.  I did hear it call the whole time it was in the area but I'm not too familiar with the Dusky call. I'll know it next time. Neil   It's a Japanese (aka Manchurian) Bush Warbler Cettia diphone/canturians.
