Wagtail? I have seen this kind a number of times but this is the 1st successful take.

Young Starling? It showed up when I decided to call it a day (tempting fate). It got close to a group of BCS but got chased a couple of times.

The first bird and the third bird are Asian Brown Flycatchers (note the broad bill) and the second looks like Chinese Blackbird - they began to arrive for the winter a few days ago

Cheers
Mike
