This afternoon was a bit disappointing in Long Valley.
Dusky Warbler x2+
Oriental Reed Warbler x2
Plaintive Cuckoo x3
Little Bunting x1
Hoopoe x1
Pechora Pipit x1
Red-throated Pipit x2
Flushed what could be a crake (or a juvenile moorhen) in northern entrance while leaving, around 5pm.

Got an earlier record for Little bunting in Po Toi on 25th September...

16th October afternoon.

1 Skylark. Wondering how it was identified as Eurasian. Seemed more like Oriental to me and my friend (feathers quite plain, no patch on the wing).
1 Black-naped Oriole
a group of Yellow-breasted buntings + one unidentified bunting flushed by farmers (possible black-faced or little)
1 P-T Jacana
2 Black-browed Reed Warblers
plenty of Dusky Warblers
1 Dark-sided Flycatcher
1 Little Ringed Plover
1 Marsh Sandpiper

22 Nov (morning)
1 Besra
1 Black-headed Bunting
2 Yellow-Breasted Buntings
2 or more likely 3 Chestnut-Eared Buntings (2 seem to form a pair and hang by the middle of LV, and 1 observed in different location, a bit before the first rice field)
A few red-throated pipits
6 Black-faced Spoonbills
1 Eurasian hoopoe
1 Black browed Reed Warbler and a few Pallas' Leaf Warblers.
1 plaintive cuckoo

The BFS were looking for fish in the deeper ponds near the north end. I saw them around 8am, then they flew in group about one hour later, but should have stayed around as I saw one or two birds back to the ponds or in flight. None were ringed.
