Today 12 June 2010 on Po Shan Road near Realty Garden, Hong Kong Island, I had an Asian Brown Flycatcher. According to The Avifauna of Hong Kong the latest date for Hong Kong is 26 May so this date would be extremely late.

I noticed a strange reflection in the bird's eye - did you use flashlight to take the photo?

Yes, due to the low lighting conditions a fill flash was used when photographing. I did not take the time yet to photoshop it out.

If that is the case, I encourage you to change the setting of the camera to compensate for the dark environment next time.

Flashlights may scare the bird, so I encourage you to avoid using them whenever possible.
