Mike,
 
Do you mean Eurasian Collared Dove?
I think I've seen a Eurasian Collared Dove on that day but wrongly recoginized as Red Collared Dove in the field.

Yes it  was a Eurasian Collared Dove, probably a category E bird, but occurs wild in northern China and has wandered as far south as Fujian, so there is a case to be madefor it asa wild bird.
 
To my knowledge the  Rarities committeee has yet to make a decision about previous records.
 
Koel, Fung Lok Wai is an area of fishponds near Tin Shui Wai, but closer to Yuen Long Industrial Estate.
 
The best way to get there is the minibus that goes from Yuen Long (the minibus station behind McDonald's) to Shing Uk Tsuen . I can't remember the number of the minibus, but you can get off where the minibus turns round and walk dwn the hill to the ponds. Also check the hills for raptors - this is a good area.
 
Cheers
