Both JPF and the Cuckoo were seen at Po Toi on 8/10/2006.   I have posted some photos of JPF on Photo Gallery I. And do you have any idea about the species of the Cuckoo?   Allen   on Oct 9th, 2006, 1:28pm, miket wrote: Thank God for this photo, restoring my confidence in my ability to identify at least some of these birds - clearly a Japanese Paradise, of course.   Does the underpart patterning suggest an adult, and is that why it's so obvious, I wonder?   Mike Turnbull   Hi Mike,   Thanks for your id. and confirmation of JPF.   Allen Logged Tony BBS Member BBS Full Member I love bird watching!     Posts: 44 Re: Paradise Flycatcher ID « Reply #4 on: Oct 10th, 2006, 12:39am » Quote Modify I also agreed this it a Japanese Paradise, I saw a Asian Paradise at Kowloon Park.
