Today only few birders come to the island, the weather is fine but looks like too sunny for birds, and the helipad area becomes a construction site, so I do not have much expectations at the beginning of my trip.
Black-faced bunting
Red flanked blue tail x 2
Common blackbird x 7
Mountain tailor birds x 8
Blue rock thrush x 2

Fork-tailed sunbird x 2
etc...
Well done Peter, Rufous-gorgeted Flycatcher is a rare species not seen every year. Good photo.
Keep the records coming. Author: peter2014 Time: 1/12/2017 17:54
