Yesterday John Alcock had 9 Chestnut-eared Buntings and 2 Yellow-browed Buntings.

this morning Richard Lewthwaite and I found the 2 Yellow-browed Buntings again, plus Yellow-breasted, Little and Black-faced Bunting.

Other good birds included:

Common Teal - 15
Japanese Quail - 1
Grey-headed Lapwing - 2
Wryneck - 1
Daurian Redstart - 2
Rubythroat - 2h
Black-browed Reed Warbler - 1
Red-throated Flycatcher - 2 h

A little later on there were over 100 Black-faced Spoonbills on the mud at Nam Sang Wai, and inside the fishponds I had very good views of a Radde's Warbler. I also heard 3 more Rubythroat (I saw one male) and two more Black-browed Reed Warbler.

Cheers

The number of buntings I am credited with is not correct - I think Richard may have misheard when I phoned Birdline!
There were 4 Yellow-browed and 1 Chestnut-eared on Friday. 2 Yellow-browed were present this morning.
Also Yellow-legged Buttonquail, Lanceolated Warbler and Common Starling this morning. There were 24 Grey-headed Lapwings in the river a couple of days ago.
