Started a new thread because it is not autumn any more.

Japanese Robin
Red-flanked Bluetail
Mountain Tailorbird
Goodson's Leaf Warbler
After seeing the reaction of other birders when I showed them these photos, checking 2012 records and searching for 'Japanese Robin' on this site, it seems this is a rare bird in Hong Kong, at least in recent years. I didn't know this at the time so I am even more pleased with this record.
He was found just after the biggest picnic area. I sat down to take photos of a Red-flanked Bluetail eating termites hoping to get a good shot. After about 2 minutes the Robin flew in and I was able to get a few photos before some hikers scared it off. I waited about 10 minutes for it to come back but it never showed. On the way back, 2 hours later, the Bluetail was still there.
