A Chinese Leaf Warbler was seen in a bird flock around a bridge on the main road (north of Shing Mun reservoir, near the Lead Mine Pass junction).
The composition of bird flock included Pallas's Leaf Warbler (up to fifteen individuals), Blyth's Leaf Warbler, Japanese White-eye, Chestnut-flanked White-eye, Rufous-capped Babbler and Grey-headed Flycatcher.
If someone wants to see it, you should focus on the big bird wave.

It is just next to the red maple tree. This location always gives you great surprise. :
You have to walk about 45 minutes from the public light bus station to that location. Author: HKBWS Surveyor Time: 3/01/2008 17:15

thanks Mike ...... a pretty good day for birds ... Author: hgeorge Time: 4/01/2008 21:46
For someone who is interested in finding the big bird wave, you can see there has two bridges at the north of reservoir. The bird wave was found near the bridge and the fung shui wood area. The time is around 1000am. You may find the Chinese Leaf Warbler and other warblers there.
如果有興趣找尋大鳥浪中的四川柳鶯及其他柳鶯類，可到水塘北面橋位及風水林的位置找找。時間約在早上十時左右。

Out of interest, how does the call of Chestnut-flanked White-eye differ from Japanese? I have seen CFWE and knowing the call might be useful to help me look for them (I've always assumed the calls were the same) Author: hgeorge Time: 19/02/2009 15:08
42 Great Cormorant were seen flying over the reservoir in the morning.
With regard to the question by john, sound between Chestnut-flanked White-eye and Japanese White-eye is slightly different. Just like Buff-bellied and Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker, their sound and song are slightly different. I don’t know how to write the sound in language but I know their differences.
I think, if someone can observe more than 10 times of CFWE, I suppose he/she will learn how to distinguish them among the white-eye flocks and even frequently hear them in the deep forest in winter.
Regards,
George
