Mike,
Do you think the fantail is escape or is it wild?
Thanks.

This bird has been considered an escape since in first appeared a couple of years ago. The closest wild population is in E Guangxi, which is not that far, but this bird is not known to be a migrant.

I walked up to Ng Tung Chai this morning from Ping Long village. Lots of birds about!
Daurian Redstart 2 male 3 female
Verditer- perched high in bamboo below Ng Tung Chai village. When it flew it looked to have rusty tinged primaries and tail- it was back lit by the sun. Is that normal? I can't find that anywhere in the descriptions I have for the bird.
Black Drongo with a very worn tail
Red-tailed Robin
Grey-cheeked Fulvetta (pair)
Mountain Tailorbird
Grey-backed Thrush- male
White's Thrush
Ashy Drongo- near Lam Kam Road
Grey-headed Flycatcher- 2 - near Lam Kam Road
There seemed to be a lot of thrushes about, hard to pin down though, as always.

A nice surprise this morning - a female Grey Bushchat seen in the field in front of the houses under construction for about 20 minutes from 0730-0750. My first for NTC.
