This is a very exciting discovery- a new species in China!
I have a little more information
The surveyor who found it, Jiang Aiwu, was working on a Kadoorie Farm Scholarship at the time
A few Hong Kong birders have seen this bird already. I went with Richard Lewthwaite and Ruy and Karen Barretto in November 2006 and had three birds at very close range. However, we did not share this information because the discovery had not been formally announced and it would have been inappropriate to dcalre we had seen it before even the finder of the bird.
Photos of the bird are availabe on the Oriental Bird Images website.
Nonggang is an interesting reserve and hold some great birds, including White-winged Magpie, Sultan Tit, Indochinese Green Magpie, Oriental Pied Hornbill, Silver Pheasant, Red Junglefowl.
