Shing Mun/Lead Mine Pass in Autumn, 2014

Great found!

But do you think the flycatchers will stay there until this weekend?

Because I can only birding in weekend.  Sometimes when I got the bird news and then go to the bird spot in weekend.  The birds may be gone, quite frustrated...

Dear Coconutcat

Sorry it's your nickname that's only known to me.

My answer to your worries. First, from my experience, the Mugimakis found at the first Butterfly Garden/Paradise have known to me to ...
Thank you very much for your advise!  Hopefully the flycatchers still there on Sunday...

Finally met the Mugimaki Flycatchers!!

I arrived the Butterfly garden at about 8:20 and wait for about 25 minutes the Mugimaki Flycatchers appears.  There are 3 female and 1 male.  Photo as below:

Dark-sided Flycatcher is the other flycatcher in Butterfly garden.  Only saw one there.


The rest part of the Shing Mun/Lead Mine pass quite quiet,even the local birds are rarely. Most of the time only heard twittering on the tree top but cannot see what species they are. May be today is Sunday, lots of people walk around so the birds are hiding. May be weekdays are better for birding...  The rest of the birds seen:
Chestnut Bulbul
Japanese white eye
Olive-backed Pipit
