The weather was nice, with moderate sunlight and comfortable temperature.
The total number of birds, however, was poor.
Luckily some less common species did show up well and cheered us up.

The first bird that we could take a clear look at – Dark-sided Flycatcher


An immature male Blue-and-white Flycatcher showed up a few times on a short tree.


A “Grey color Egret” far away turned out to be a Striated Heron after examining the photo. It displayed its crest just before landing.


A mysterious dark bird was found on that rock, that rock and that rock far away.
Playing hide-and-seek with us for a long time, the bird finally flew towards us and let us confirm its identity – A female Blue Rock Thrush.


A bunting calling in some shrubs was hard to locate. It then took off and perched on a tree far away, revealing its identity – Yellow-browed Bunting


Enjoy! Please feel free to share your record photos here.

Hi All, while going through my pictures for the trip, also noticed this pic which was clicked flying high above the island (too far and not clear). Not sure of ID (maybe a Hobby?)

Thanks for adding one more bird of prey on the outing bird-list!
Yup looks like a Eurasian Hobby to me.
