At its most recent meeting, the RC agreed the following.
Additions to Cat. I
At the most recent meeting of the RC, it was unanimously agreed to add eight new species to Category I of the HK List based on the following records:
Grey-backed Shrike Lanius tephronotus 22 Sept 2015 (moved from Cat III). A record of 13 Jan 2014 was also moved to Cat. I.
European Golden Plover Pluvialis apricaria 25 Oct 2015
Emei Leaf Warbler Phylloscopus emeiensis 22 Nov 2015
Franklin's Gull Leucophaeus pipixican 26 Nov 2015
Booted Warbler Iduna caligata 27 Nov 2015
Greenish Warbler Phylloscopus trochiloides viridanus 18 Dec 2015
American Wigeon Anas americana 17 Jan 2016
Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon Treron sphenurus 6 Mar 2016
The HK List now stands at 546 species in Categories I and II.
Category I: species that have been recorded in an apparently wild state in HK.
Category IIA: southeast China breeding species, the currently established HK breeding population of which is considered to derive from captive stock, but which probably occurred in HK prior to habitat changes.
Category IIB: extralimital species that, although originally introduced to HK by man, maintain a regular feral breeding stock without necessary recourse to further introduction.
Category IIC: previously established feral species.
Category III: species for which all published HK records are considered likely to relate to birds that have escaped or have been released from captivity.
*Category III species do not form part of the official HK List which is only Category I and II species.
