A nice list ckwokwing - always happy to see someone reporting on a new site - I look forward to regular updates.

There are not many winter records of Blue-and-white Flycatcher - nice record!

Where is Sha Lo Wan?

Cheers

I am also interested in the record of Blue and White Flycatcher, which would be very unusual in HK in winter. Do you have more details or photos?
Little grebe is also an interesting record from this site. Was it on the sea? (I can't think of any ponds in the area)

Mike, Sha Lo Wan is on the North Lantau coast. There were several updates last autumn:

Are there any more details on the Black Redstart? This would be only the second Hong Kong record for this species.

Where exactly was the bird, and what features were observed to conclude this ID?

As mentioned in the bird guide, the female Redstart similar to Durian Redstart but without white wing patch. It was walking (sometimes flirt its tail) on the rock in front of the pavilion to view the airport.
