Excellent photos, especially considering how shy this species can be.
It's interesting to get proof of breeding around Mai Po. This series of photos obviously involves four different individuals - an adult male, adult female and two different juveniles.
It appears that the gradual colonisation of Hong Kong is still underway - I have heard of family parties this summer near Long Valley and Nam Sang Wai and I have also seen a pair sometimes in the Kam Tin/Sha Po area into July at least (although no proof of breeding there yet this year)
Having seen a few juveniles in Hong Kong in the past couple of years I am always amazed at how much like (Eurasian) Hawfinches they appear. These photos show this well. I wonder if any of the old (Cat E) records of hawfinches were actually juvenile grosbeaks?

Hi johnallcock,
Thanks for more detail!
We had seen at least 6 of them in a group.

I also took their photos at MPNR today (7/8/2006).
They seemed to be not shy and stayed at the tress for eating.
