I visited Kam Tin both days again this weekend - the trip on Sunday to look for a possible Blyth's Pipit I'd found on Saturday morning. Unfortunately I haven't been able to relocate the bird and I'm not sure that I saw enough to rule out the possibility of a sinensis Richard's Pipit (although it was clearly different from a typical richardi)
Other highlights over the two days were:
Saturday (7 Oct)
Grey-headed Lapwing x18
Black-winged Stilt x2
Bonelli's Eagle x1
Common Kestrel x1
Red Turtle Dove x1
Red-rumped Swallow x1
White-cheeked Starling x6
White-shouldered Starling several small flocks
Zitting Cisticola x2
Bright-capped Cisticola x1
Asian Brown Flycatcher x4
Arctic Warbler x3
Yellow-browed Warbler x2
Also a Javan Mongoose - surprisingly the first I've seen here.
Sunday (8/10)
Black-crowned Night Heron x54
White-cheeked Starling x32
Plaintive Cuckoo x1
Yellow-breasted Bunting x1
