...so far no-one has suggested any evidence that this highly charismatic bird is an escape ...
Aren't there feathers missing on the belly, just in front of the left leg?
I wonder how feasible it is that a flock of birds hitched a ride on a ship heading south around the Chinese coast, with individuals hopping off at various points en route? My main concern is that it seems odd that a subspecies which is essentially resident in Japan and Korea should turn up as far south as Hong Kong, as early as September.
