It was a dry and warm day on PT. 3 peregrine falcons were seen from the ferry.
On the island, I could only find:
1. Brown shrike near the sisters' cafe
2. Little bunting at the helipad
3. Dusky warbler at the helipad
4. Daurian Redstarts (m & f)
5. Common Kingfisher
Until the appearance of a Maroon Oriole cheered up every birder today. Credit to Peter Ho who first found the bird.

Maroon Oriole is a great record, congratulations to all who went yesterday.
Interesting to see what the Records Committee says about it. It looks like the Taiwan ssp [i]ardens[/i]
Of the three Peregrines from the Ferry, we saw an obvious migrant Peregrine flying low and fast over the water due north-east last Thursday and photos indicate it was an ssp [i]japonicus[/i] or [i]calidus[/i] migrating back to the far north.

Edward, nice photos, this is really an exciting experience and have great fun together with birders. T
Yesterday, there is also a nice Blue Rock Thrush (sub-species pandoo) near the pier. And other birders find an Eurasian Hoopoe and a Ashy Minivet on the island.
