Title: Unknown birds at Mai Po
Post by Neil on Sep 10^th, 2006, 10:39pm

A friend of mine took these photos at Mai Po about 10 days ago and wondered about the ids. Can anyone help? Neil.

These are wonderful records! - it would be great to have more details - both have been recorded less than 10 times in HK!

Cheers

It is also the first Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher at Mai Po!

I'm sorry to correct my original message . When I asked for clarification the flycatcher was taken at Mai Po but the Tiger Shrike was taken in Kowloon Park. Neil.

I thought it didn't look like Mai Po.
