North East New Territories

went to the spot late morning. Aside from the female bluetail and daurian redstart (not mentionning the star of the show, a common tailorbird), saw briefly an emerald dove in the bamboos close to the picnic area along the stream, as well as several common birds (chestnut bulbuls and OBPs among others). At the bridge mentionned in previous posts, the male plumbeous redstart was showing well (eating some unfortunate butterflies). Saw also (too briefly to confirm the identity) a possible verditer flycatcher in the bushes seen from the bridge.
Then walked to Luk Keng. Nothing worth mentioning on the way, but a bit before arriving at the village, a small accipiter, likely a Japanese Sparrowhawk (posting a photo in the identification section).
