HK Wetland Park 9 Dec 2018 - Hume's Warbler

How did the Yellow-streaked Warbler show so well today but we did not see or listen yesterday and I am going to have a busy week, a dip of this species would be my destiny like the White-spectacled Warbler?

A cool day today, near the end of 2018 and not much time left for my HKWP time so I tried to bird as much as possible to see any lifer, turned out nothing, as expected, until the long staying Hume’s Warbler called (sang too) and showed itself, allowed some record shots.

Still no Baikal Teal, only 2 Gadwall again and more Falcated Duck - at least 4 individuals (1 male and 3 female) were seen quite well.

Raptors were slow, 2 Western Osprey and a Besra were highlights on sky.
