Excellent capture! I also hear and never see. Where did you see? I have heard them on the Peak.

Actually very rarely heard on HK Island, or at least they were in the past, when I lived there.

I heard one once in ten years from '87 - '97.

Rather localised in Sai Kung, where I live now, but we do have them roving around here in the spring at least, where I live now at Tsiu Hang Special Area.

Nam Shan near Sai Kung town, and Ho Chung are also strongholds.

Thank you, Russcath, the pictures were taken near the helicopter pad.
Michael, I always heard the bird call in winter and spring at TPK, but only got one chance to see the bird on the tree top far away.
