These are really interesting records

- Brown Crake has been very scarce in HK for a long time now
- Not many records of Emerald Dove from HK Island
- Not many Spring records of Sooty Flycatcher

all interesting from a rather under-watched site.

Dear Mike,

Mt Davis is just behind my home. I think this site will be completely changed due to the construction work of Kung Man village in Victoria Road.

On that day a Brown crake was in a small trace in front of bush. Just enough time for me to see its body and outstanding color of legs.

The Emerald dove (male) and the Grey-streaked flycatcher were still there yesterday.

I will try to keep the record in Mt Davis to see what other interesting could be found.
