Title: Photographable Hume's Warbler 淡眉柳鶯有得拍

There is a Hume's Leaf Warbler, the fifth record for HK, at Kam Tin. It was showing very well this morning, providing good opportunities for photographs.

It can be seen in the trees immediately next to the bridge over the main broad grass track from Kam Tin to Sha Po. Light is best in the first half of the morning. It has a ring on its leg.

Thanks Geoff for his clear hint telling the location of this tiny & non-stop bird. If I can't have it prior to visiting the field, I think I'll id it as a Yellow-browed Warbler.

Dear Forrest,
Well done for photographing such a restless warbler and showing many of the features at the same time!

Thanks for sharing, Forrest. Wish I can meet this bird & not mistaken it as Yellow-browed warbler.
