The Chestnut-flanked White-eyes are a great find!
Also today at Mount Davis in the morning there were 16 Chestnut Bunting in two flocks, a Mugimaki Flycatcher, a Red-flanked Bluetail and now two Lesser Shortwings singing.

Another interesting morning at Mount Davis. A Lanceolated Warbler walked out on a path and I got some good looks of it walking around in the underbrush. Not what I expect is good habitat for one.
Also, a Rufous-capped Babbler (first for HK Island?), the Lesser Shortwing singing, and a Black-winged Cuckooshrike.

For the Rufous-capped Babbler, I would be sure to say some have been sighted by me in front of the main campus of HKU. At that time, I only wondered if they accidentally visit the campus from Lung Fu Shan.

1 Grey-streaked Flycatcher (seen by Wallace)
3 Chestnut Bunting
2 Little Bunting

The previous high count for Raddes Warbler is three, as long ago as 1992.
This has been an excellent autumn for this species amongst others.

I would say it has been a good autumn for Lanceolated Warblers, Two-barred Greenish Warbler, Radde's Warbler, Chestnut Bunting, and Daurian Redstart. Would say everything else is about normal.

20 November 2012
Another excellent day of migrant activity
1 Red-breasted Flycatcher (male, see photo elsewhere)
1 Blue-and-white Flycatcher, female
1 Mugimaki Flycatcher, male
1 Dark-sided Flycatcher
1 Radde's Warbler
2 Chestnut Bunting
1 White's Thrush
7 Grey-backed Thrush
10 Silky Starling (not common on HK island)
7 Red-flanked Bluetail (seems many came in last night)
In just about 10 min in the same spot I had the Red-breasted, Mugimaki, Blue-and-white Flycatchers, Scaly Thrush, and the Radde's Warbler. Why did people stop birding Hong Kong island exactly?

Quiet and hot but still a female Blue-and-white Flycatcher so migration still hasn't completely stopped.
