Can anyone give more information on the waxwing?

This is a mega - bird that almost everyone would love to see.

Never heard about the Pale-footed Bush Warbler either - are there any pix?

Dear PMWK

Thank you for letting us know - fantastic to see  waxwing in HK, even it could not be identified to species - there have been no wild birds in the 15 years I have been in HK and they were my dream target bird last weekend.  Its good to know my dream could have come true if I'd gone to Po Toi instead of staying home for a BBQ. Little bits of news like this keep you going when autumn has been like an empty desert for good birds.

I'd be just as happy to hear about the bush warbler

It would be good to submit a record- even of Waxwing sp. - helps to build  picture of likely occurrence for future records.
Cheers
