Asian Paradise Flycatcher 壽帶

Wow.
I think this is just the second-ever Hong Kong record of a white phase Asian Paradise Flycatcher, the last was in 1988 according to Avifauna?

Congratulations Thomas. One for the 2013 HK Bird Report.

Peter Wong has pointed out to me that a white phase Asian Paradise Flycatcher with a long tail was seen and photographed at Tai Po Kau on 8 October 2003.
This was not reported in the 2003 HKBR but a photograph appears in the First Edition of the Photographic Guide to the Birds of Hong Kong.

So the Po Toi bird is (probably - any more?) the third white phase bird to be recorded in Hong Kong.

The Po Toi bird was not seen on Tuesday, a disappointment to the army of visitors who went to see it.
