Great pictures.  I haven't seen parrotbill in HK yet!  Russet Bush-warbler is a very interesting record, I had no idea they summered in HK.  What time did you go up?

Thanks Dylan, the Parrotbills are hard to miss once you hear them, they move in small flocks and are usually quite noisy! Yes, it's the first time I heard Russet Bush Warblers up there this year. I went around 7am - 9am.
