Dear All,
I need help in id these three birds singing at 4.30 AM last night in MUi Wo, Lantau amongst the houses of Luk TEi Tong, where we have lots of trees. The song was very complicated and repeated many times with astounding perfection. I have a few pics" some thrush, blackbird, not a robin for sure or mocking bird?

The most likely candidates are Magpie Robin or Blue whistling thrush as they will start to sing before dawn.  Both have complex songs and are found near houses.  Hainan Blue Flycatcher is a maybe but prefers forest.  There are many other possibles!

Try searching on xeno-canto and comparing the songs of those species to the songs you hear.  Even better, record it and share it on here.
