Hi Lynx

This is an interesting record from Long Valley as Blue Rock Thrush is normally found on Rocky coasts during winter and a few pairs which breed on our higher mountains.

Please remember to submit this record to the Records Committee at the end of the year.

Cheers
Mike

I saw her again in Long Valley today (6.11.2003) at the same paddy field path just next to Yin Kong Village carpark, since my last sighting on 2.11.2003. This time I managed to get much closer to her ;D
