Fantastically useful set of data, which I will check through, as Geoff suggests, to see if there are any anomalies, even errors. However, can I suggest that some sort of very broad brush, locally based 'cause for concern' status (independent of any Birdlife etc rating) might be useful, and might encourage the submission of records of such species. For me, this started with species #1 Chinese Francolin, one of a number of grassy hillside species we old-timers think of as common etc, but possibly threatened locally as their habitat shrinks in the face of the re-afforestation which is, perhaps, the biggest habitat change of HK in the late 20th/early 21st century.
