Ng Tung Chai,
Bird of the day and a first for Lam Tsuen was a calling
Bay Woodpecker. The call was the same as the first one
here by Desmond Allen (call number: XC79339). It was heard below the bottom falls, and called several times, a descending weh weh weh... repeated ten times or more. The joys of technology meant Mike Kilburn was able to get onto Xeno-Canto at home and play the recording to me to confirm!
More migrants today:
Arctic Warbler; Eastern-crowned Warbler; Grey-streaked Flycatcher; Hainan Blue Flycatcher (stunning adult male singing beautifully).
Also of note, a pair of
Yellow-cheeked Tits which followed me along the path for 100 metres, four
Mountain Bulbuls below the bottom falls and two further down by the main temple. A
Lesser Shortwing gave its full repertoire of song, whistle and chak chak calls and also came out to my pishing letting me see it's drab plumage and cocked tail pose.
As I was leaving a juvenile red-necked keelback crossed and stopped on the path edge.
I had the trail to myself for two and half hours. Good morning out!
Dylan
