I have a query on the Mylamma flora and fauna forum that I cannot answer.  Why are there many more female Daurian redstarts than males seen in Hong Kong?  Is this the same in other locations?  

Anyone know the answer?

Thanks Geoff.  Maybe 1 in 4 on Lamma or even lower frequency I would guess.  I  had suspected that sub-adult males might resemble females, but I can't see anything about that in either Birds of China or Birds of Hong Kong.  Does anyone have any detailed information on this?

Interesting.  That seems to answer the question.

Thanks Geoff

and thanks too Geoff
