Pale thrush (record) 白腹鶇

Pale thrush (record) 白腹鶇

Heavily cropped record shot, but first record I've heard of on Lamma of this species, so pretty well chuffed with that.



白腹鶇, 南丫島, 大坪邨. 5/2/2007

It looks like a pale thrush to me, but I doubt if it is the same bird due to the more prominent wing bar on the first bird.  I'd be interested to hear comments from others - I've never seen this species before, so have no field experience to draw on.  The bird I saw yesterday, and on Sunday at the same location, had a distinctive habit of flicking its tail feathers outwards showing the white edges.
