Title: Verdicter flycatcher at 45C Ngong Wo, Sai kung
Post by Stanley Chan on Jan 6^th, 2003, 9:55am

5th January
from the path between Wong Chuk Wan and Ngon Wo, Sai Kung

Verdicter Flycatcher 1
Red Flanked Bluetail 2F 1M
Greater Necklace Laughing Thrush 4 on the ground

The most special one is a Grey-Throated Minivet Male, is it the rare in Sai Kung?

Grey-throated Minivet is certainly uncommon in Sai Kung, and possibly rather rare. I haven't recorded any in Ma On Shan or in the square containing Yung Shue O. This is one of the good things about doing a Winter Atlas: it will help us clarify the distribution of uncommon, and thus less well known, species.
