At least one independent Mountain Bulbul juvenile have been seen at Blue Walk today . The bird have short crest and brownish belly and breast . It also have light yellow on the vent . The wing-coverts and the tail are green .
One hour later , i have also seen two adult Mountain Bulbul at Blue Walk .

It seems like that Mountain Bulbul are turely develop in Hong Kong .

Also , two Grey-cheeked Fulvetta have been spotted in 'Babblers Wave' at Blue Walk today . The 'Babblers Wave' included Rufous-capped Babbler, Streak-breasted Scimitar Babbler , White-bellied Yuhina , Red-billed Leiothrix , Silver-eared Mesia and Blue-winged Minla .

Just to add to the fun of it, earlier there were

1 juvenile, 2 female Hainan Blue Flycatcher
2 juvenile Cuckoos calling, probably Large Hawk Cuckoo, for the readers to judge:

- greyish face
- ruddy crown and mantle
- greyish, short and fine bill
- bristles
- large dark eyes with huge yellow eye ring
- mottled brown breast
- lower belly barred black on whitish
- long tail
- call: "tseeeeeeeeee; ... ; tseeeeeeeee; ..."
