Congratulations, Andy Li on a fantastic find and great pictures!
With regards to rare bird notification, we should remember than in this case in the 20 minute (that the bird was there) no one would have had time to have gotten this bird.
I think the HKBWS though would do well to develop and post a clear procedure for fast notification of birds. I think the current system could be better centralized. Currently, some birds seem to be reported to the birdline but not the forum, or reported to forum but not the to birdline. Furthermore some birds seem to reported only in the birding blog but nowhere else.
If clear instructions on which species and how to report them if and when they are found were clearly posted, I think that would help potential frustration in the future.
