This is a very interesting record. Two Lesser Shortwings winter at Mount Davis and I saw a Rufous-capped Babbler one day in the fall. All of these birds are rare on Hong Kong Island and I suspect must be dispersing from the Tai Mo Shan mastiff. I am puzzled by all the birds which have not yet managed to colonize Hong Kong Island even though there seems to be ample habitat.

Agree on Scarlet Minivet and would also suggest Grey-chinned Minivet, Pygmy Wren Babbler, Huet's Fulvetta, Crested Serpent Eagle, Mountain Bulbul, and Blue-winged Minla as strangely missing from Hong Kong Island.
