Re. Russet Bush Warbler.

The first record of a bird singing in mid-summer on Tai Mo Shan was in July 1995 (Avifauna). They've been heard singing there in summer in most years since then, with a juvenile being seen in July 2001 (HKB Report 2001-2002).

Brendan -

Yes, that about sums it up. A Brown-flanked Bush Warbler was heard in song on Tai Mo Shan in April 1999. Breeding was proved in 2003 and up to 6 were singing in 2004. There were 12 singing in 2006 and I also had 12 in song in 2009. 28 may well be a record count for Tai Mo Shan - although there may be a higher count than that in the past 2-3 years from the Pat Sin Leng range.
