The road narrows to a path  before turning lright and  starts to drop downhill.  The fruiting tree is by a burned area and next to a small house painted bright blue.     Lots of bulbuls also use this tree and I have seen Red-throated Flycatcher , Azure-winged Magpie, Daurian Redstart and Rubythroat on the burned patch in the last week. Also I have twice heard a Russet Bush Warbler singing nearby.   The bird  was only seen with the naked eye but at close range.  It had a borad orange-red breast  and flanks with a narrow v of white which broadedned towrds the underatil coverts.   It also had a brownish back and head and similarcoloured throat, which showed no sign of any contrast from malar stripes or supercilia. The bill looked yellow.   This was not the same bird as I saw with the Kwans, which Geoff identified as Grey-backed Thrush.  However I have benefitted from seeing that bird as it has helped to clarify the ID of this Brown Thrush for me.   Cheers   Mike Logged Mike Kilburn Vice Chairman Chairman - ConservationCommittee HKBWS Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識 => Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
