11 April 2011 - Again don't ask me how could i get to the island. We don't have much time so sorry to the poor "record photo" quality.
We were welcomed by a male
Blue-and-white Flycatcher just at the pier, thanks to Fatchun.
At the football field the first bird to note was a
Yellow-fronted Canary, followed by a flock of buntings nearby, which we could identify some Black-faced, some Little, a likely female
Yellow-breasted Bunting and a stunning male
Yellow-browed Bunting
All Buntings are shy as usual but will show quite well if not disturbed.
Also a total of 4
Bramblings were seen and photographed (by my friends only) foraging on the horsetail trees near the school.
The
Black Redstart is still there. Same for the buntings it needs a safe distance:
and the very shy
Hoopoe
Other migrants includes Yellow-browed Warblers, Silky and White-shouldered Starlings (There were about 5 starlings flying over the pier area but i could only identify two), Asian brown flycatcher, and an unknown thrush near the lagoon.
