Post by Mike_Kilburn on Feb 13^th, 2004, 9:39am

This morning at Kadoorie Farm two species of Rock thrush - Blue Rok Thrush and Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush were seen at the upper levels.

A male Blue Rock Thrush was at the top of Kwun Yam Shan.

A pair of Chestnut-bellied Rock Thrush were seen from the road above and left of the Orchid Haven.

Alsio there were three or four Red-flanked Bluetail, two Daurian Redstart and a small flcok of buntings including Trsitram's (at least 3), Black-faced and Little.

2 Pale Thrush
2 White's Thrush
2 Grey-backed Thrush
2 Black-tailed Hawfinch (Chinese Grosbeak)
1 Red-tailed Robin (Convent Garden)
