I also saw the male Rufous-gorgetted Flycatcher this afternoon - what a stunner! - a fantastic male and showing brilliantly on the black ventilation pipes  next to the green AFCD hoarding at the main carpark - best views I've ever had!

Other good birds included the male Plumbeous Redstart at Chung Mei, a Blyth's Leaf Warbler, a Greenish Warbler at the mirror pool and several Grey-backed Thrushes and Red-flanked Bluetails.

I also enjoyed the bats flying around the bridge at Chung Mei from about 5pm.

The Rufous-gorgetted Flycatcher continued to show superbly well in the same spot this morning. In addition to hunting flies as they emerged from the black pipe I was delighted to hear it singing!

Other birds in the area included a female Daurian Redstart which knocked the flycatcher off the pipe, a female Red-flanked Bluetail, a female Scarlet Minivet, and a tailless Grey-backed Thrush.
