Here at Pak Sha O, I've had Grey Nightjar since 24th March and Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo since 27th March. Also Brown Fish Owl calling on 24th March and 1st April. An extremely low-pitched call that would be easy to miss among the noises of the forest. No Koels here, though I did have Plaintive Cuckoo this morning, my first record here. The first Large Hawk Cuckoo this year was on 14th March.

I've had two records of Great Barbet here, one last autumn and a male in song on 15 March this year. I'd imagine that your bird may well be the same individual given how rare they are in this part of HK.

There are three Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoos in song here and at PSO Ha Yeung, which is just down the road. It's been much poorer spring than last year, and I've had few migrants.
