23 September 2011 - Po Shan Road
Only migrant seen was a Yellow-browed Warbler.
I don't know what happened to Po Shan Road this year. By this time last year I had seen an Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher, Yellow-rumped Flycatcher, Forest Wagtail, 2 Siberian Blue Robins, and lots of Arctic, Eastern crowned and Pale-legged Leaf Warblers. This year it has been consistently dead. I suspect that it is due to less rainfall this September--I can't think of any other reason, the habitat seems the same. Author: kmike Time: 24/09/2011 00:28
That's migration for you - makes the good years all the sweeter! Author: brendank Time: 8/10/2011 21:09

There were 3 Grey-streaked Flycatchers near the Firestation at LFS. There was one Asian Brown Flycatcher at Po Shan Road and a flyover Northern Hobby. Author: brendank Time: 21/10/2011 14:08

Thanks, Mike.
I forgot to mention that along the concrete trail several signs have no been put up saying that slope maintenance is planned in the area. I suppose this area would be a bit vulnerable to landslides but it would be unfortunate from a birding standpoint as the vegetation along that path can be quite productive.
As far as I can tell the very productive area around the s-curves would remain unchanged. Author: brendank Time: 22/10/2011 13:41
The Green-backed Flycatcher appears to be gone. With clear skies last night it likely moved on. Today on Po Shan Road there was a Black-winged Cuckooshrike, and one each of Asian Brown and Grey-streaked Flycatcher. Author: brendank Time: 18/11/2011 13:27

In addition to the Owston's or Green-backed Flycatcher there is a female Blue-and-white and male Verditer Flycatcher, a Black-winged Cuckooshrike and at least eight Yellow-browed Warblers on Po Shan Road. Author: brendank Time: 22/11/2011 14:09
