I just found that I forgot to open a new post for the winter records of Long Valley!

3 Jan 08 Cold and Sunny
The cold weather didn't bring much surprising bird species to LV.
Birght-capped Cisticola x2 (at least)
Bluethroat
Lesser Coucal
Ruddy-breasted Crake
Grey-headed Lapwing (seen by Hey)
Japanese Quail (seen by Hey)
Citrine Wagtail x2 (seen by Hey)

I'm wondering whether the crake is the same individual as the one appeared with the Baillon's Crake a few months before.

剛發現原來我沒有開新帖子來記錄塱原冬天的雀鳥。

2008年1月3日 晴、冷
冷鋒沒有為塱原來帶來特別的鳥種
金頭扇尾鶯 x2 (最少)
藍喉歌鴝
小毛雞
灰頭麥雞
紅胸田雞
鵪鶉
黃頭鶺鴒 x2

不知這隻紅胸田雞是否和上個月跟小田雞一同出現的那隻是同一隻。 :roll:

Both individuals of Citrine Wagtail were seen in Pond 189 and Pond 191 which are in a patch of eight ponds/farmlands planted with water cress adjecent to Beas River and on the SW side of a large Lily Pond.

One individual were seen regularly in this location from early December.

Hope i made the description clear.
