Tai Mo Shan, 大帽山 (near the top)

Is it unusual to see it on such high altitude environment?

Thank you very much.

Yes, Blue Rock Thrush.

No, not unusual. This species likes grassy areas with rocks - from sea-level to mountains. Probably regular in winter in small numbers on Tai Mo Shan but under-recorded because of lack of observers.
